Students' Views on Special Educational Needs Courses in Initial Teacher Education.
Garner, Philip
British Journal of Special Education, v23 n4 p176-79 Dec 1996
This article addresses current features of initial teacher education in England, including the impact of the National Curriculum, the need for more school-based training, and the "permeation" of issues concerned with special educational needs (SEN) into the entire teacher education curriculum. A survey of recent graduates at four institutions indicates widespread dissatisfaction with the coverage of SEN topics. (DB)
