Special Education Teachers' Perspectives on Tutoring by Local College Students

To provide information for university special education faculty and special education teachers, we present the perspectives of three special education teachers regarding the tutoring of their students by local college students. The special education teachers describe their needs as teachers, their students’ needs, and how universities can be useful and productive in their schools with regard to tutoring or other potential partnerships. These teachers provide their perspectives on what universities need to consider when preparing college students to tutor in local schools, how this experience can be useful for college students, and how this partnership can benefit special education teachers and their students with disabilities.
