I wanted to alert our readers to another interesting blog they may also want to follow. This academic year, the Council for Exceptional Children, a professional association for special educators, is featuring blogs by four “newly minted” special educators, all in their first, second, or third year in the field, to discuss their experiences in the classroom.

A version of this news article first appeared in the On Special Education blog.
