QUESTION 4 OF 30

Share an experience where you worked with a special education student on music.

As classrooms are become more inclusive spaces, more and more teachers are working with special education students. The interviewer wants to know your experience and how you have handled situations with special education students before. Speak about the patience you have and lessons already created for all learners.

"Two years ago, I taught a special education student in my general music class. There was also an aide helping the student out. I treated the student like any other, and got her playing the bongos during class. When things got a little too difficult, I had another option ready to go for the student."

Daniel was visually impaired but had a beautiful voice. He added so much to our choirs. The girls loved having him there and included him. It was a pleasure to see.

Marcie's Feedback

The beginning of your answer piques the interest of your listener but then lacks in-depth details. What was your role in encouraging Daniel to sing? What challenges did he have to overcome within the class due to his disability? In the end, how did Daniel benefit from his inclusion in your music class? Go deeper so your response is meaningful and memorable to the interviewer!
