Abstract
Panel members in this session will focus on whether one can be a highly skilled special educator, working with our most challenging students, in the absence of demonstrated excellence as a "regular" classroom teacher. It opens a much-needed dialogue about how the field will take up the challenge of redefining the roles and responsibilities of special education teachers.
