ABSTRACT: This article presents findings of our nationwide study of undergraduate special education student teaching practices. The authors were especially interested in grading systems, assignments, supervision practices, and unique challenges. Results indicated variability in grading systems, use of traditional assignments such as lesson plans, use of student reflection through portfolios or journals, and challenges associated with locating student teaching placements that reflect research-based practices and parallel the conceptual framework of the teacher preparation program.
