A Day in a Special Education Room- Jared Walls

The everyday tasks of the students and teachers in a high school life skills classroom.

Some of these comments are truly despicable and hate filled. I would gladly defend anyone with disabilities. I have family members with special needs

i was diagnosed with aspbergers and i help with the special needs kids at my high school and all of them are nice and good kids just have a harder time to learn some things.

I dont know how its possible to have that much patience being a special ed teacher

These kids are precious! Some of the comments on here are really making me mad! Don't call them that! They deserve to be treated the same as anybody else! They are smart in their own way! I love that they use adaptive tools like that folding board for their Work-Based Learning classes! I think everybody should learn about special needs kids because it teaches them empathy for other people! And it teaches appropriate behavior for the students! Plus it gives the kids a time to socialize and not feel trapped in the classroom! I also like the way that they have physical education in the morning so that they will be calm during the day! I think everyone needs that! Well thanks for sharing! Very informative video!

the way this class was designed it's the way it should be in all special ed life skills I was in special ed myself as a child I was pushed through the education system therefore I was behind on my education I do blame the education system how is designing God bless the teachers that do care about the students God knows there's teachers out there that do not care at all

My teachers don’t really help me. I have autism, and it’s really hard for me in classes. When I rode the bus to school, the high schoolers in the back called me a discusting -lut. That personally hurt me a lot. But, now that I am older, and have a better understanding of the world,and I have the best people in the world to help me learn better : D.

Couches instead of desks. Genius. My goal is to work in special education. A special ed aide or teacher

In High School I chose an elective whereby for the school year all I had to do was to be in a special ed class. The teacher said just to be myself and observe and participate if I wanted to. He wanted his special ed students to observe me and my behavior as a regular mainstream student so that I can be a role model. It was a learning experience and I made a friend. I was not really sure why he was a special ed student because i never asked or judged but he did tell me he saw his dad committing suicide by using gun. Overtime i introduced him to my other friends, school activities, etc. We lost contact when I started college. My experience in that class was very positive. I learned that people can achieve things eventhough they have physical or mental challenges.

HI! If this is Jared Walls that taught English at Baker High School, I really appreciate you posting this video. You might remember me as the ESL Teacher. I use this as a supplemental video for students seeking a Master's Degree on TESOL that do not have a school to complete practicum field experience due to COVID-19 for a part-time job in a university course I am teaching. Thanks, Dr. Lisa Reyes

Both Special Ed and General Ed teachers deserve to be recognized equally. I've talked with both kinds of'em, and it actually takes a lot of training to do what she does. Becoming a teacher is not as hard as becoming a doctor or an astronaut, but it's not as easy as most people think.

[@TheAGcollector101]

I love that there's gen. Ed kids interacting with them, I wish my school did something similar

[@Eurodance90schick]

This is a great video I really like how the students in the class get to learn life skills at school, it's nice they get to learn a lot so that way it'll help them be ready once they graduate and they will be successful.

Thank you for what you do each day to educate and show these students love. I know it's not easy, special educators you are appreciated and have a special place in my heart, so much so that I am in the middle of obtaining my Special Education degree. Both of my brothers were in special education. It means so much to the families of these students that they are getting an education at their level but equally important that they are spending their day at school with people who genuinely care about them and their well-being.

Special education educators are wonderful and amazing!!!!

[@gourmet2276]

the folding board is awesome.

[@josenahector8369]

Thank you as a teacher for being willing to share your experiences. Also, thank you to the parents and guardians for being willing to allow their children to participate. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Darkstalker212]

I was in special education back in my high school days. I know how it feels..

[@Mia-sj1mi]

These kids (and teachers) are super sweet and awesome!
