In education, and especially for special education, it is the very same. We look at the outcome we want the student to have and then we plan how to get there. Any other way is busy work and doesn't really produce positive results for the student. This is John Dewey theory at its simplest from the Aim of Education in his book, Education and Democracy.

It is saying something for me to have finally understood what the heck some of those theorists were trying to say during this quarter of perspectives and theory. Just thought you'd like to know someone made a connection. I connected with the post today. In education, and especially for special education, it is the very same.
