⟩ Do you know what is the key to being a great special education teacher?
This is one of the few special education interview questions that has one consistent answer: differentiated instruction.

Be prepared to talk about specific adaptation methods, such as creating modified materials with pictures, and how you will incorporate these materials into various types of lesson plans.
