Abstract

It is 21-year-old Tabitha’s first year teaching with a temporary teaching certificate, while she waits for her scores to arrive from the teaching certification exam so she can apply for her permanent certificate. Without it, she is unable to acquire a teaching contract, despite many favorable interviews, so she finds a day-to-day substitute Special Education (SPED) position at a Title I middle school for the first day of the school year. The position is a special education co-teaching position, meaning she is responsible for team-teaching alongside four general education teachers who have the same group of 160 seventh graders. She would also be the advocate for any students who have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) within this group of students, which amounted to approximately 30 students with various exceptionalities.
