Philosophy of Special Education

My passion of helping the Deaf and Hard of Hearing student success in their education

and in life motivates me. Education develop student’s knowledge and prepare them to become

responsible. It helps student create different perspective and become creative with their skills.

The philosophy of education has profession, teaching, instruction, and future to discuss.

Many years ago, in my elementary school, I failed to understand what was taught in

school due to my deafness. Transferring to the Deaf program in third grade helped me gain more

knowledge with the tools and resources provided. I was behind than all my peers, and my third-

grade teacher helped me with my educational needs all the way till fifth grade. To me, she was

my inspiration to helps others in need and understand the importance of education. She was and

will always be my first teacher who I respect. This is the reason why I choose this profession, to

helps others become successful.

I believe that all children have the right to learn and receive the education they need

especially special needs students. My goal is to work with the deaf and hard of hearing and

currently, I work with hearing preschool which is a different experience. Deaf and Hard of

Hearing need a deaf or an expert sign language teacher who can help them improve in their

communication skills, curriculum, etc. I have seen 3rd-5th graders lack their abilities and support

because they did not have someone who spoke their language. Its teacher’s job to make sure the

student comprehends, become prepare, understand their needs, and to accommodate for them.

With support and advocate, they have many opportunities and achieve in their academic.

Most deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) students in Nevada are in mainstream or in self-

contained classroom. They go to get the support and help they need that they cannot receive in a

general education classroom. Their special education teacher helps them what the topic they are

struggling and need extra help in a small classroom environment. They learn and achieve higher

academic achievement than they do in a general education classroom. Therefore, I believe

building an institution for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing student is needed in Nevada. They may

be diverse, but they all have a culture that they share, the deaf culture. I will provide all the

appropriate support, promote social integration, and encourage all students to participate. Most

students are visual and will need to sit in front to use an interpreter, use closed caption when

watching a video, and have extra time for the test. Teacher will also need to provide a power-

point to help students understand better.

My plan is to participate and volunteer in a deaf program to see how I can help a deaf or

hard-of hearing student and understand them better. There are three different way to

communicate with a deaf people, I use Pidgin Signed English(PSE), it combines English and

American Sign Language, my goal is to learn more American Sign Language to communicate

with students how to express themselves and communicate better for their needs in their

educational academic. Hopefully someday, a deaf institute is built in the future for the benefits of

all the students for their academic.

In conclusion, I want to become and advocate for the deaf and hard of hearing students,

hopefully, I become the teacher that they need to success in their educational academic. My

experience of lacking communication and knowledge at age 9 was tough but a challenge I

learned to overcome it. I learned that you can only achieve if you have supporters and work hard

for it. This helped me have different perspective in life.
