SPD 310 Topic 5 Clinical Field Experience B:
Collaborating with Colleagues
Observing other teachers is important to build
understanding for any profession. Observations are particularly important for
the field of education because there is so much professional nuance learned on
the job. In this field experience, you will have an opportunity to observe and
work with a teacher, focusing on how that teacher collaborates with colleagues.
Often, a significant portion of the special education teacher’s job is spent in
collaboration with paraeducators. This typically includes collaborating on
student needs, scheduling, coaching, and supervising.
Allocate at least 2.5 hours in the field to support
this field experience.
Observe, interview, and collaborate with a certified
special education teacher and a paraeducator in a Grade 4-8 public or private
inclusive or resource special education setting.
