Interview of a pre school teacher | ed5420 | Capella University

  

· Interview

Interview an early childhood teacher (preschool) who has at least one special education student in the class. Develop a 2–3 page report that can be shared with your class members in this unit’s discussion. The purpose of this interview experience is to help you get a sense of how a teacher adapts lessons using DAP to ensure all children learn, including those with exceptional needs.

Your interview will have two sections. In the first part you will ask general questions about the overall support of children with disabilities. In the second part of the interview you will narrow your focus to a specific category of disabilities.

Ask the following questions, along with any others that are important to you. If you like, you can share these questions with the teacher prior to the interview so they know what to expect.

Interview Outline

  • Believes that all children can learn at high levels.
  • Persists in helping students achieve success by applying different approaches until they achieve that success.

  • Recognizes when one’s own dispositions may need to be adjusted.
