Exploring Teacher-Student Relationships in Special Education

For my research this summer, I’m studying student-teacher relationships in special education. I’ve been spending my time as a participant-observer in a high school special education summer school, volunteering as support staff in 9th and 10th grade classrooms, while simultaneously taking field notes about the interactions between teachers and their students that I'm observing. I’ve learned a lot so far, both in terms of my research, and about what it’s like to work in the field of special education.
