In school’s children come from an array of backgrounds and each has its own impact on students. As an educator it is important to expose children to different cultures and ethnicities students may not be aware of. Teachers need to celebrate and cherish differences. “Children learn by observing the differences and similarities among people” as well as absorbing the spoken messages that adults share in their life. One curriculum that some schools follow is known as an Anti-Bias Curriculum.
Through joint effort and in collaboration with various departments, effective implementation of integrated education and proper intervention program is required. This study therefore, was conceived to help special education teachers in handling special education class to the improvement of the whole special education program.In the face of the burgeoning problems, special education teachers encounter, this paper attempted to find out if the special education teachers are qualified and prepared in handling special education class. Their job is primarily teaching them life skills and basic literacy. However, the majority of special education teachers work with children with mild to moderate disabilities, modifying the general education curriculum to meet the child's individual needs and providing required instructionConceptual FrameworkThe researcher deemed it wise to formulate a conceptual framework using the Input-Process-Output Model in the conduct of this research study.It starts with the preparedness of high school SPED teachers, followed by the assessment of teacher’s preparedness as bases for developing intervention

The barriers that are being faced in such programs are organizational barriers, the way in which schools and classrooms are organized. Attitudinal barriers, focusing on the beliefs of teachers, administrators about disabilities and inclusion and the knowledge barriers which are the limitation in knowledge of students with disabilities and the appropriate strategies that need to be
Grouping students of all abilities play a key role in the academic success, peer intervention, and socialization of an individual. Teaching in the least restrictive environment is a requirement for the Individuals with Education Disability Act (IDEA) and requires that students with special needs be educated in a general education setting. There are various grouping strategies that a teacher or team leader can incorporate to assist students with all types of abilities. Deciding what type of group to utilize can be a complex task. The general education teacher may want to collaborate with the special education teacher to devise a plan that would benefit the students with and without disabilities that need instructional support (Friend, & Bursuck, 2012).
