Special Education Interview

I interviewed Gordy Brenner who is a special education teacher at a school in Ohio. Mr. Brenner has been handling students and children for many years and has been in the school system for over twenty years. When I asked Mr. Brenner about communication and writing in his profession, he told me that "communication is a key factor in education." Teachers must communicate with each other verbally as well as by writing. Teachers also have to be able to communicate well with their students along with their students' parents. When I asked Mr. Brenner what the best way was for parents and teachers to communicate was he answered with "Face to face communication is the best way to communicate with parents and students because it allows for teachers to understand the parent(s) and vice versa."

Mr. Brenner told me that as long as I could communicate well verbally and in writing that everything in my future profession would be a breeze.
