Two semi-structured, recorded interviews were conducted with each participant, followed by a focus group with all participants. Data analysis included continuous memoing, coding, cross coding, raw data triangulation, investigator triangulation, and member checking as a means of deeply understanding participant experience within the larger educational system. Study findings can be used to inform educational stakeholders and policy makers of the challenges found within special education, the unique benefits that special educators bring to the system, and how through collaboration, we might initiate systemic change in support of special education teachers.

Many of them are affected by learning disabilities and disorders. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was designed to help meet the needs of these children. However, children diagnosed with dyslexia were excluded from special education services because they did not qualify. Though advances in technology have identified dyslexia as stemming from a neurological difficulty to process language skills necessary for learning to read, dyslexic children continue to fall outside the qualification guidelines for special educational service. For this reason, many classroom teachers find themselves with children in their classes who are unable to read and who will not receive extra help. The aim of this chapter is to share teaching ideas, methodologies, and strategies which will help the classroom teacher address some of the needs of the dyslexic learner within the regular classroom setting.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic showed that our nation’s teachers also developed the skills that are considered the pillars of HLT, as they made the transition from teaching traditionally one day to remote learning the next. This study explored how 46 special educators adapted their teaching methods to best address the needs of their students despite challenging circumstances. This study also suggests the application of the Happenstance Learning Theory in understanding and explaining how teachers seemingly make changes “in the moment”.
