I teach Global History and Living Environment in a high poverty area, to a group of enthusiastic special education learners with varied learning styles. My ninth grade students with cognitive, behavioral and physical disabilities are champions, rising above and overcoming challenges each day. Teaching is not only assigning ten pages of reading, and learning is not only responding to a series of questions based on the reading. Some students learn best by creating a poem or writing and recording a rap song about the information they have learned, while others excel at drawing or building a visual representation in the form of a mural or miniature structure. This is special education creating a learning environment that appeals to many different types of learners and allows them to express their knowledge in an infinite number of ways.
