Abstract
As a new special education teacher, you are bound to face challenges.

Description
We know that you cannot pour from an empty cup. In order to be an effective educator, you have to feel safe, valued, and confident in your work environment. Whether you are in a co-taught, resource, or self-contained setting, being a SPED teacher can be isolating, confusing, and challenging. In this session, we will share the things we wish we knew before becoming teachers, some of our challenges we experienced as new teachers, and the things we learned along the way. Participants will have opportunities to share their experiences and concerns, ask questions, brainstorm how they would respond to various challenges, and more. This presentation will address the conference strand 7: “Encourage and support pre-service teachers as they learn effective strategies to support these individuals” because it will provide pre-service and induction teachers with strategies to improve their day-to-day teaching life.
