Picture 2. Modern classrooms with a lot of technology 
Not every teacher is capable and well trained for using ICT in classroom, and thus unable to 
make a more student friendly classroom and learning atmosphere. That is where the 
professional development and trainings take over. Every teacher has to keep pace with the 
modern education in terms of the use of technology for educational purpose, and create an 
atmosphere which is natural for the modern students, where they can feel more at home and 
will be more willing to learn. 
Every student needs same attention and different approach 
Every student in your classroom is a student with different educational needs. And every teacher 
has to pay equal attention to every student. Some students learn better with audio visual 
stimulation, others by reading, some by experiencing things, and the teacher has to fulfill the 
need of all these students. Every student has to have the same amount of treatment in order for 
the teacher to accomplish the goal of reaching a good learning atmosphere.
Today`s image of the students with special educational needs are dramatically different than 
the ones generations before. Students who have short time frame of attention, students who 
have need for physical activity, the addicts of the modern technology and the students with a 
need for assertiveness are only part of those specific type of young people the modern teacher 
meets. There is not a teacher who at least once a day has met the modern problem of the students 
with special educational needs and who takes a lot of energy, material and effort from him so 
he/she can teach them. Always and in every classroom there must be a student or students who 
show symptoms of students with special educational needs. They always make chaos in the 
classroom and take the attention of other students and make the teaching process more 
complicated than it is. And the teacher is the one who has to control it or the class will become 
uncontrollable and the teaching goals will not be achieved. The teacher has to achieve a learning 
atmosphere, has to have in mind these situations and these students in mind when preparing 
classes and when teaching in class.
Continuous seminars, trainings, new editions with didactical and other educational themes are 
more needed than it is thought so the teacher can understand the needs of the modern students. 
What should I do with a student who yells all the time? What should I do with a student who 
cannot remember anything? What should I do with a student who controls the classroom? Are 
some of the questions that the modern teacher asks on a daily basis. 
The students with special educational needs which are specially defined in the educational 
process and whole teams in and outside the school like pedagogues, psychologists, 
defectologists and other work on their including and adopting in the educational system, but the 
teacher is left alone to cope with them in the classroom during the process of teaching, and the 
teacher has to create an atmosphere which is suitable for teaching all these different types of 
learners who have different types of needs in the process of teaching and learning.
