Breaking Down the Wall Between General and Special Education Teachers in Our Schools: How Organizational Missteps Create Classroom Barriers This Blog discusses the wall between General Education and Special Education Teachers that has existed since Students with Disabilities were fully included in our nation’s public schools in the mid-1970s. Organized in five “columns” (that support the Wall), the Blog identifies bricks that need to be dislodged (i.e., changed) so the Wall can come down. Many recommendations focus on changing staff and administrative beliefs, policies, procedures, or practices. The five columns holding the wall up are: Organizational, Supervision and Accountability, Professional Development and Consultation/Relationship, Instructional Skill and Collaboration/Teaming, and Persistence and Success barriers. We hope educators will read and discuss the recommendations in their educational settings, complete Needs Assessments, and work to eliminate the most-persistent or dominant “bricks” in their walls. . . on behalf of all students. Special Bonus: We share a recent 25-minute Education Talk Radio interview on this topic (October 2, 2024). Read this important Blog.
