Week 2 : See children as Individual

The one main concept I learned this week is that we are all individuals and have our own worth. No one person in the same and no one situation is the same. It takes exceptional teachers to recognize this and live after this manner in order to make a difference in education. We can not look at all children as being on the same level of learning and abilities. There is a beautiful uniqueness that we all bring that contributes to this amazing world and no one child should be shames or disregarded for any reason. 

Along with knowing that no two children are alike comes the knowledge, or ability, to see two sides to one situation. With special education there is no one right or wrong to any situation. That is why it is so important to be knowledgeable on all sides of the spectrum so we can come up wit the best option suitable for the children we teacher or even have of our own one day. 

If anything, I have come to more fully understand that we are all children of our heavenly father. We all have the capabilities to grow and become like him: ALL OF US, not just the elite athletes, or scientists, but all beings that ever come to this earth. Disability does not define a person and nor does it eliminate them from increasing their knowledge today and one day become perfect. We all have the right to learn and be treated with respect.
