Abstract Details

2022, Doctor of Education , University of Dayton, Educational Leadership.
Special education within urban, public schools does not always look the same from state to state, district to district, or teacher to teacher. More specifically, teacher knowledge, abilities, and experiences also oftentimes differs in inclusive classrooms that service both students with disabilities as well as students without disabilities. These differences can present problems of practice between co-teachers as well as within the classroom procedures and practices. The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the lived experiences of special education teachers in urban schools with experience in both co-teaching and independent teaching of students with disabilities. The findings revealed the following themes reported by special education teachers: teacher-assistant role playing, communication replacing co-planning, and desire to share input.
