Course Spotlight: Special Education
ETFO AQ courses are unique from those offered by other providers as our courses are created by teachers for teachers. Candidates are provided with a unique learning experience.
Our Special Education AQs are a testament to the current and practical framework our courses are built upon.
“This course has changed the way I approach students who need extra support. Now that I know the importance of a trusting relationship, my first steps when approaching an unfamiliar face have changed for the better as a result of this course! This course has increased my confidence and knowledge when supporting the needs of various students in the classroom. I have more resources and strategies that I can implement in my teaching practice to benefit the diverse needs of students. I have more knowledge of the IEP process, the accommodations that can be put in place within the classroom, and a variety of strategies to support a variety of exceptionalities. Through the discussions I have engaged, the resources I have looked into, and the assignments I have completed, I am now more confident in my abilities and have added to my toolbox for my future interactions with students in diverse contexts.”
Special Education Part 1 Candidate
“I have used much of the learning from this course in my practice already — a lot of great ideas from articles and from the other candidates have really been meaningful. Thank you!“
Special Education Specialist Candidate
“This course has strengthened my ability to respond to challenging behaviours with empathy and consistency. I’ve incorporated new strategies that promote self-regulation, clear expectations, and stronger relationships with my students.”
Teaching Students with Behavioural Needs
“The course has reinvigorated my love of teaching in a small behaviour class, and refreshed my mindset! It was exactly what I needed to give me a “boost” for the year. The biggest impact is knowing that being a teacher makes a difference. Behavioural challenges are viewed as intimidating and overwhelming, but when we get to the bottom of them, it’s our connections with the students that truly impact them the most.”
