School Beat on SFUSD's new Special Olympics

School Beat takes a look at SFUSD's new Special Olympics program that we reported on back in January. The article is written by Paul Zager, the veteran special ed teacher who leads the Special Olympic program in SFUSD. He gives an excellent overview of the program and its early successes.

Special Olympics Comes to San Francisco’s Public Schools!:
when students with special needs have the opportunity to learn specific skills, participate in a real sport, and be part of a school team all within their school community, the social, emotional and intellectual potential of these students (and for the school community at large) can be enhanced.
