General or a special education

You will interview either a general or a special education teacher in your assigned school about how she/he works with parents to support student learning for students with disabilities.
General Assignment Description: Your interview should consist of @ 15 or more questions. In this assignment you should gain knowledge about working with students with disabilities and/or the response-to-intervention process, collaborating with parents and other professionals, and school-community events. If the teacher’s schedule required that you conduct this interview in more than one session, please do so. Also, you should do this interview in addition to your 10 field-placement hours.
What Questions Should be asked? You will be able to ask some questions of that are of interest to you. In addition, however, below are questions that you will be required to ask. For your own questions, you should develop the questions so that they require a thoughtful not just a factual response. For example, you might ask the teacher, “What has been most surprising about working with parents of students with disabilities. Questions such as, “How long have you been teaching?” are for your information only and could be included in the interview, but would not count towards your thoughtful questions.
