What is Special School

It is important for teachers to have at their disposal teaching methodologies that embrace all the students who become part of a class. Chilean undergraduate students of English pedagogy programs do not necessarily possess these requisites which are mandatory due to the current laws that go in favour of students with special educational needs. From this basis, the English pedagogy program at Universidad Mayor has designed a program to fulfil this need, meet national standards, and ensure access to fair and dignified education with opportunities for each student. This chapter offers a detailed description of the process, from design to implementation, to the assessment of a course meant to provide pre-service teachers with the knowledge and teaching strategies for the inclusion of school children with special educational needs commonly present in Chilean classrooms.
