ELTshouts. Teaching is a matter of trust! Teaching children with special needs. This is a post that a long time, I was thinking about to publish.
Not only is it an important issue in the field of Education, but also personal one. Some of us (teachers, mothers, friends and on) have known good and bad stories about: “Teaching children with special needs”. However, some of us (teachers) have faced difficulties in our classroom to deal with this particular issue, principally Autism. When I was at University, I attended Psycology discipline, and I have to say that I didn’t remember anything about Autism. Answering your questions: Why did you decide to become an educator.
Sometimes it is not as easy as it seems to actually keep a blog and write frequently.
I have started blogging back in 2007, but I had a long break a couple of years ago and then I found blog challenges! Blog challenges are actually subjects that people (in my case teachers) write articles about and compare notes. This way I have found the strength to start expressing myself again and guess what? Conversations in the cloud. 30 Goals Challenge: Goal 12: Why do I teach? #30GoalsEdu. This was really a tough one....
Although it is my job, I never really asked myself why I do it.... After reading the wonderful blog of Sylvia Guinan with a wide collection of teachers thoughts on the subject, I didn't have much to add... So why do I teach? For me, my job is not just a job.

Last week we had the first day of school.
I like the first day. My students’ nametags aren’t torn yet. Their desktops aren’t crusted with Elmer’s glue. The bristles on the paint brushes aren’t stiff, and the pencils in the pencil can don’t have any teeth marks. On the first day of school, I always ask my new third graders what they want to be when they grow up.
Several years ago during our when-I-grow-up discussion, eight-year-old Natalie asked me why I became a teacher. Teachers can get so busy with meetings and report cards and un-jamming the copier that it’s easy to forget why we went into the profession in the first place. I teach because I like to gather my students close to me on the reading rug and hear them burst out laughing when I read Teacher from the Black Lagoon.

It is the nature of our being. It’s in our DNA, and it ensures the survival of our species. It is natural, subconscious, and the means through which we grow, evolve, and expand human consciousness. It is the food of the soul, the life of the mind, and the heartbeat of the world we live in. Parents naturally teach their babies and children. One quote from a fellow teacher, Michael Butler, kind of pinpoints how I feel about this: There are four aspects of the human experience that I wish to explore here today. Whatever I mention here is also a reflection of feedback from teachers around the world who have given me their personal answers to this question on facebook and linkedin.
