Abstrakt: A multimedia module, Transitioning to Special Education Teaching, was produced as a resource for new teachers. The module contains a number of artifacts from urban special educators teaching in diverse classrooms with a range of student abilities and ages. Preservice and new special educators can access materials online, see materials that represent an array of instructional practices, and hear and see how experienced teachers reason about teaching. The module has four interconnected components: Serving Students with Disabilities; Creating Learning Environments; Planning and Preparation; and Co-teaching, Collaboration and Consulting. New teachers can find support and resources needed to guide instruction that could be different from their previous experiences. In this paper we describe the content of the module. We provide information gleaned from users over the last few years, and the potential use of the module for preservice and ongoing professional development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
