SPECIAL EDUCATOR INTERVIEW

Set up a meeting to interview a classroom teacher, special education teacher, resources teacher, specialist, guidance counselor, Sunday school teacher, children's pastor, etc., who you perceive to have outstanding behavior management skills. Preferably, the interview will be conducted in person, but a phone interview will also be accepted.

2) A transcript of the interview: the questions you composed and the responses you received. State the question in bold text and the response in regular text.

3) A one page minimum summary of the individual's views/practices regarding behavior management and an analysis of what you gained by participating in this activity.

The finalized assignment must include the following:

• A title page in current APA format;

• The summary and your personal analysis (at least one page).
