Reality 101 is a blog written for new special and gifted education teachers, by new special and gifted education teachers. It is maintained by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), the premier association for special education professionals.
The Reality 101 bloggers are CEC members -- who have been selected to share their experiences with the special and gifted education community for an entire school year. There will be successes and challenges, ups and downs . . . but no matter what, their stories will showcase just how rewarding a career in special education can be.
We encourage readers, both new and veteran educators, to get to know them, offer advice, and share their own stories through the blog. Be sure to subscribe by e-mail or RSS feed, so you don't miss a single post! (See the upper -left corner of the blog.)
Read entries from our former bloggers: 2009-10 and 2010-11.
Are you a teacher educator? Consider using Reality 101 as a course supplement for your introductory special education classes.

We would be remiss if we didn’t thank the many veteran special educators who helped establish this blog by sharing their anecdotes and words of wisdom with their less-experienced colleagues. These dedicated professionals made Reality 101 the valuable resource and forum it is today. You'll find their entries in the archives, dating from September 2007 to September 2009.
