The Graduate Certificate in Special Education (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business was a valuable learning experience that helped me gain a deeper understanding of special education principles and practices. As a teacher in a Japanese school, I was interested in learning more about international approaches to special education and how I could apply these in my own context. The course content was detailed and comprehensive, covering a range of topics from special education law and policy to instructional strategies and assessment methods. I appreciated the opportunity to engage with course materials and discuss topics with my peers, although I sometimes found the online format to be a bit isolating. Overall, I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others looking to develop their skills in special education. One suggestion I might make is to include more opportunities for cross-cultural sharing and collaboration to enhance the learning experience.
