The Changing Role of Special Educators: A Development Waiting for a Change.
Ferguson, Dianne L.; Ralph, Ginevra R.
Contemporary Education, v68 n1 p49-51 Fall 1996
As students with disabilities are included in regular classrooms, special educators' roles shift from classroom teacher to specialist, support, consultative, and itinerant roles. The paper examines the shift, noting implications for teacher education and inservice development that encourage preparation of all teachers with a common core of knowledge and capacity. (SM)
