Mr. Brendan Doody:

It is important to note that not all the supports that would be made available to schools would be intended for the removal of students into a special class. One of the specific teaching methodologies that has been advised in special education teaching is team teaching. It involves the special education teachers working with class or subject teachers in mainstream settings. We are encouraging schools to build the capacity of all teachers in mainstream provision through the use of the special education teacher in that way.
