One thing I immediately noticed about Ms. McManus’s approach to teaching/addressing her students is her prioritization of non-discriminatory language and setting difficult goals for her students. Of these two aspects of her teaching style, the fact of setting intentionally difficult tasks for her students served as a new point of view that I had not previously considered. Furthermore, it kind of challenged my view of certain aspects of special education. In retrospect, my gut opinion was ignorant and naïve, but the idea of setting really challenging goals seemed unfair to me. However, as outlined in the Lily-Grace video, blindness is typically all a person knows and they are eager to learn and be challenged. I wonder if her students have better outcomes from her assigning difficult tasks.
