A general education teacher provides instruction that can be modified to students at all levels, including students with special needs. They need to be familiar with the concepts of universal design for instruction, differentiation, and creating inclusive lessons. In inclusive education, educators continually use community building so that students feel a sense of community but also feel connected to one another and the teacher.
Special Education is part of general education. It is a system of support to help students learn the general education curriculum. Special Education teachers help develop Individualized Education Programs (IEP) for students. The lessons/activities they plan have to be accommodating to their disability
Person-first language is phrasing that puts the person ahead of the disability. It is a respectful way to refer to those who have disabilities. If you are unsure, ask the person how he or she would like to be described. It is important to remember that preferences can vary.
ELL'S refers to individuals who have limited proficiency in the English language and includes children and adults of all ages.
Programs for ELL students are often referred to as English as a Second Language (ESL) programs, in which teachers use techniques, methodology and special curriculum designed to teach ELL students English-language skills.
