I never stick to one way of presenting my lessons. My lesson presentation varies, depending on the needs of specific students on that subject being taught. For an example, math is usually inquiry based. I am never directly teaching in front of the classroom for math, and I make sure to connect the math problems to everyday life so they see the importance in it. Teaching a subject such as reading, can get boring for students in special education and they lose interest. I again, link reading to their lives as much as I can. Getting students engaged right in the begginning of the lesson is really important, so I do include an anticipatory set in each of my lessons. Many times in the special education setting, I allow one student who has mastered a topic teach it to another student who is having difficulty. Anything I can do to make a lesson interesting, I do it. I also use many different materials to present lessons such as: computer, overhead projector, whiteboard, manipulatives, games, etc.
