One teacher recently request help for a student who couldn't use a regular keyboard. Williams, who never endorses a specific product, sent her a list of companies that make large-key keyboards. Another teacher wanted to know what technology could help a student who couldn't move any muscles from the neck up. Teachers also inquire about funding for assistive products. It's only through education that children can be accepted and get the opportunity to show what they can do.
Teachers hold the future in their hands.
Teaching has failed to gain respect partly because our education schools have defined their subject matter as pedagogy. America organizes its teachers horizontally, according to the age of the pupils they teach. No other advanced industrial society trains teachers primarily in methods targeted at specific age groups. Right now, a sixth grade English teacher works with a sixth grade math teacher more often than she does with first grade reading teachers, high school English teachers, or English professors. This method is justified by dubious precepts of age-appropriate educational science.
