TEXES Special Education Exam Prep: Analyzing the Competencies

[@MannyMed94]

At the beginning, you mentioned the best way of teaching is becoming close and understanding each student individually. This is 100% true and helps so much with finding their needs and exactly how they can learn. The true challenge are the students that even with knowing them well, we know they DO NOT enjoy learning whatsoever. That's where more hands on and interactive assignments come in to at least keep them entertained. Showing you care makes them care a lot more for sure.

Thanks for taking the time to explain each of the competencies. It's helpful to read them, but even better to hear them explained.

[@DorysGovea]

Amazing resources and dissecting the information. I like how Ms. Sauseda breaks down the competencies and ask to put them into our own words so we can learn the information. How we study and go over the information will help us understand the information. She also highlights the domains we need to focus on.

[@daisyrobles3256]

Thank you for thoroughly dissecting all the information and what we should focus on to help us during the exam!

[@CBuzzell]

The reminder of the standards and domains to focus on first because they're the highest percentage of questions on the exam was very helpful at calming my mind and giving my study time a direction.

[@andreahernandez20245]

This video was very helpful to me and straightforward when it came down to breaking down the competencies. I like how you emphasized the domains we need to concentrate on, this session was not only just informative but it also gave me a clear understanding of the examples you provided in this video. Especially when you had mentioned if we are not completely sure on the information, it is best to go over it and really review the material again so we can be aware of it. Great video.

thank you for taking the time to explain the competencies for better understanding

[@lsiver7233]

Very informative video about the education criteria and important techniques.

[@marlashepherd1969]

Thank you so much your explanation over these domain has been one of the best breakdown tutoring session!

[@stephaniesauceda7700]

You're very welcome!

[@josereyna9108]

good to know that the mometrix is a good source but not the questions. I actually bought the TEXES special education EC-12 2nd edition. Good to know that i need to focus on Domains 6-12. its very helpful that you get to know your students because it helps when it comes to them doing their work and them knowing that you care about them. I have seen this alot of times that by the time I get these students they dont even know simple math or Algebra and this is in high school. I ask myself how did they get this far......

[@sjgrimaldo22]

I love what you said about nothing wrong with not knowing but acting like you know and moving on .

[@rosacanales9082]

I love the way you compared this information to google. It really is our go to to be able to know what we need to do and what is expected of us as educators. You brought up a good point, if we can't explain it then we don't know it. We need to understand the competencies

[@griseldagonzalez5403]

This video gave me so much knowledge, one thing is reading the information and understanding all we need to know so we could pass the test and the other is all the real life experiences you had and shared that allow us to connect the information given with real life situations. Trhanks

[@vanessadavis-mireles8573]

Thank you for breaking down each competency and with examples makes it easier to understand what it is asking.

[@AmandaCepeda-ud2yy]

This breakdown was extremely useful as I continue to study for Sped. Loved how you broke down each competencies word by word for better understanding. You are absolutely correct if you can't explain what is being asked and have to look up information, you don't know the info. This video showed how to dig deeper.

[@elizabethcortinas5082]

Very useful information about the domains thank you

[@melissavela3170]

After watching this video, I will now go over my exam results and check my areas of need to review the competencies

[@andrewrobertson13]

That second task at the 9 minute mark - a students development as a human, I think that is a critical part of a good SPED philosophy. It’s about the whole person. Great reminder, so glad you emphasized that, and what that includes

[@valentinatoscano7606]

I'm glad that you went over the different domains in the video because while I may have read it, it really helped going over it to better understand what I need to know for the exam. I also like that you gave different examples of different situations that you have experienced with your students to better accommodate them.

[@anaresendez2387]

The way you explained how there is different domains and competencies and that it is important to know about each one of them for the exam was super informative!

[@shayabbott7]

Very helpful and informative breaking down the competencies and what they each stand for!

[@lesliecruz7148]

I like how you mentioned that if we 'know', but can't explain it, then we really don't know and should make effort to review the material again.

[@HannahAlvarez-cj2bn]

Thank you for the review on domains and competencies. It was a super helpful breakdown!

[@NathalyBenavides-eu8qx]

Very helpful video, I am currently working as a paraprofessional in a sped unit and we try and implement self advocacy to our students all the time. We have several new students this year and it has been a struggle but have seen so much improvement in most of them. Great tips and liked how you explained the domains.

[@franciscoguerra5517]

Like this very helpful

[@krystdamayneguerrero441]

The breakdown and you explaining the breakdown of the domains was very helpful

[@bannkzzGG]

Ive learned that i should not only know the dictionary definition of terms but i should also be able to explain and describe the meaning of different terms to someone else. We must develop curriculum for developing cognitive, academic, social, language, affective motor, functional, transition and career life skills for individuals with disabilities. Everywhere is a learning experience.

[@rafaeldiaz34]

Very good information.v

[@zekegutierrez4521]

Very helpful Ms. Sauceda better understanding the information thank you.

[@melissavela3170]

I learned that students now have to be tested within their grade level vs their cognitive level

[@carinaguajardo8045]

Excellent video and very good tips.

[@nereidaybarra8480]

This video was very informative!
