Self Contained Special Education Teachers?

Hello
I need to ask a few interview questions for a paper that I have to write concerning special education teachers in a self contained classroom.
1. On average what does your weekly schedule look like?
2. What lessons do you teach your students?
3. Do you collaborate with other special educators?
4. What is the ultimate goal that motivates you?
Thank you for any help that you can give.

Suggestion:

I am a special education teacher in Kansas. My weekly schedule looks rather like a train wreck. I set up my schedule for my 16 students in 15 minute intervals beginning at 8am and ending at 3pm. I teach math, reading, science, writing, social studies, functional lessons (dish washing, laundry, etc.), social skills, Community based education (trips around the area). I collaborate with a special needs teacher for Community based trips and the use of the kitchen facilities which are in her room. As for my goal: giving my students the best possible education for the rest of their lives. I hope I answered your questions sufficiently.
