Update #3

Today I gave my goal presentation and feel like it went very well. A lot of information I found cam from www.cec.sped.gov. This website is a great source for information and I recommend it to everyone!

Overall this assignment has been very beneficial because it helped me answer a lot of my questions. Knowing the differences between mild/moderate and severe licensure is very important when planning a future in special education. If I do peruse a carrier in SPED, I would like to hopefully seek licensure in the mild/mod range. From what we have talked about in class and through my research, I realized there would be a greater range of students to work with. I feel like gaining a severe license would not only limit my gen ed teaching but also the amount of students I could work with. However, from my research I learned most special educators are now licensed for multicategorical practice. This means that these educators are trained to deal with mild/mod and severe, which is more up my ally because I could work with all students in the special education spectrum.
