Preface
The American public has come to expect excellence both from the performance of students in the schools and from the teachers who deliver the instruction. More accountability measures are being required for both students and teachers. The accountability for the special education teacher is even greater than for the regular classroom teacher since there are annual reviews of student progress and extensively written long- and short-term plans which must be completed by the special education teacher. Because of the high cost of special education, local school boards watch closely the impact of such programs.
The critical variable in the success or failure of the special education program is the teacher. The preparation of future special educators must include training which addresses the manner in which they can make themselves accountable and the range of problems which they will be expected to solve. We have attempted to include both of these aspects in this text.
This text is intended for students who are preparing to become teachers of the mildly retarded. The case st`udies and problem situations depicted in the text are actual situations that we have encountered in the classroom. We have tried to explain the theoretical base of teaching but always from the perspective of what is practical. The way things are can be quite different from the way they are supposed to be. Our greatest frustration in training future teachers has been to break them from the mind set that we live in a perfect world as far as programming for the mildly retarded is concerned. Our experience from working primarily in rural and suburban schools is that a full continuum of services is not generally available. The flow-chart system
