Special Education Coordinator: Learning Lessons From All Our Students
Satterley, Donna
Gifted Child Today, v38 n4 p237-238 Oct 2015
As a special education coordinator of students with learning disabilities, I come into contact quite frequently with students who are considered twice exceptional. My role is to provide support to teachers on how to best meet the needs of the students with special needs in my school district. It is imperative that collaboration occurs between special education, general education, and gifted education teachers to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each child and continue to advocate for students. If each student has the right to a free, appropriate public education, this collaboration is vital to ensure that 2e students get what is appropriate, not just what is acceptable or adequate.
