    I currently work as a substitute teacher at the school district in Moscow, Idaho.

    Many of my
    substitute shifts are in high school special education, specifically the “non-graduation” track.
    For these students, emphasis is placed on teaching life skills like cooking, budgeting, and
    healthy ways to interact with others, with an age range up to the early twenties when students
    age out of the program.

    While the main challenge of working with this group is typically the mood of individual
    students, as this directly determines how receptive a student will be to learning on a particular
    day, the aforementioned age range can also be a challenge. For example, one of the students I
    work with in his early twenties and close to aging out of the program, but he struggles with
    social cues and has difficulty understanding when and why some topics are not appropriate to
    discuss in class.

    All this being said, our group of students is generally well-behaved and does well with
    working together and keeping each other on track. In the context of this classroom, I would
    define learning as continued progress on behavioral programs for each student, with sustained
    engagement with the material already covered to prevent “backsliding”.
