Switching to a more special education focused teaching style has led me to be a happier and more fulfilled educator. I feel that preparing my lesson plans with a special education focus has made teaching "easier" . I've found that there's a general improvement in academics and behaviors as a whole. I feel more prepared. I feel I have a concise sense of each student's learning style. This approach keeps me compliant with special education mandates and I feel that it's helped me connect with all parents in a more meaningful way.
