TEA requests teacher role changes
Special education students to remain in regular classes
By Jacqueline Mason
The Baitalion
Recent suggestions by the Texas Education
Agency for schools to include more special educa
tion students in regular classes, an idea called inclu
sion, may mean a role change for teachers, a TEA
spokeswoman said last week.
TEA spokeswoman Della Mae Moore said state
legislators want to move towards retraining teach
ers to cope with an influx of students who need
special attention.
As a result, the job of retraining teachers to deal
with special education students in regular classes
will fall to special education teachers.
"There will be more of a need for special educa
tion teachers," she said.
Patricia Lynch, an assistant professor in Texas
A&M's educational psychology department, said
that in the past, special education students trav
eled between special and regular education classes
until they were ready to return altogether to regu
lar classes.
With inclusion. Lynch said, special education stu
dents will remain in regular classes. Special educa
tion teachers will join the students in the regular
classes to help them when needed.
It is like having an extra teacher in the class who
is not limited to helping just one student, but can
help anyone who needs extra help, she said.
Peggy Boone, director of special services at the
Spring Independent School District outside of Hous
ton, said special education teachers will have to be
come disability experts rather than subject experts.
"We are having students come in with multiple
handicaps," she said.
Boone advises college students who are majoring
in special education to take as many classes about
various disabilities as possible.
Realizing that inclusion will mean a shift in duties
of both regular and special educators, the A&M's ed
ucation department is revising its programs.
The Texas High Speed Rail
Authority's proposed supertrain,
or "bullet train" will make travel
ing throughout the state easier for
A&M students and faculty when
it builds a terminal in Bryan-Col-
lege Station.
Dr. Stephen Roop, head re
search scientist of the Texas
Transportation Institute's rail re
search initiative, said a high
speed rail train station will "bring
vitality into the community"
through increased growth and
prosperity.
"Bryan-College Station is not
the easiest place to get to," Roop
said. "It's out of the way of the
major corridors and it has suf
fered."
The train station will boost the
economy and offer jobs by pro
viding a need for extra services.
"The free enterprise system is
adept at providing services,"
Roop said. "There will be a need
for shuttle services and rental
cars. And Tm sure they'll need a
shuttle from the [train] terminal
to Kyle Field."
He said the train also will have
an impact on the University.
