For my inquiry project I will be researching and learning about special needs students in the classroom. Some (obviously not all) of the things I would like to look at are: which students are "special needs" in the classes I observe? (I will then pay closer attention to how they interact with their peers, the teacher, etc.), how do teachers know about these special needs- is it common knowledge in the school, do parents or counselors tell them?, what are different levels of "special needs," why are they classified like this, etc. (I am especially interested in emotionally impaired.) Basically I just don't know very much about the topic so I am interested in learning whatever I can get my hands on.
