Many people will say that working with children who have Special Educational Needs (SEN) is a challenge. Like any form of teaching, there can be stressful and frustrating times. But here are 4 reasons to work in SEN.
You’ll enhance your problem-solving skills
Mainstream teaching methods are generally not ideal for SEN students, you’ll need to think outside the box to find new and innovative ways to help your students learn. This can be challenging, but extremely rewarding when it all pays off.
More one-on-one time with students
Most SEN teachers either work with one student at time or with a small group of students. This gives you more of chance to get to know your students and pick up on any issues with their school or personal life that you may not be able to pick up on so easily with a bigger group.
Educating others
A lot of children with SEN find it hard to socialise with their peers. By educating other students about disabilities, you can help bridge the gap and help students with SEN more opportunities to socialise.
The rewards outweigh the challenges
There is no doubt that teaching children with SEN is very challenging. But when you make a break through with a student, the feeling of achievement is completely worth the challenges you’ve faced in getting there.
