Overview
While textbooks and scholarly journal articles can provide a great deal of useful information, interviews have the potential to bring that information to life. It is extremely beneficial to speak with individuals who have firsthand knowledge of the content or skills that we seek to understand. The interview assignment will allow you to speak with an individual who has experienced special education as a parent, student, or teacher. This conversation will add to your understanding of special education and increase your awareness of what it is like to educate or to receive education through the special education system.
