SpedInterviewEssay.docx    GCU-200  Special Education Interview  While discussing Co-teaching this week reminds me of teaching as a paraprofessional in an all-inclusive special education building where I was able to work alongside amazing staff. A couple week ago I reached out to two of my old co workers to interview them for this assignment. As a paraprofessional I worked under Brooklyn Howard who was the main teacher in the classroom. She is currently working in another school district as an LBS1 teacher. I was able to meet with her via Google meet to go over a series of questions.   One of the main topics we discussed that we both agreed on is that confidentiality is key. Not even confidentiality within the school but also not discussion our students with other teachers in other classes and grade levels. The privacy of the student is important to keep because we can control what information we share but we can not control what others will do with classified information. Not only is it the ethical thing to do but as a teacher we have a legal right to the parents of the student to not exploit them. The best way to ensure we keep confidentiality is only discussing students with their main teacher, administration and only relay specific information to other specials if it will be affecting their services. Brooklyn also added that making sure important and private documents are kept locked away.   Another take away that I had gotten from my interview withBrooklyn, that I plan to use in my future career
