The Special Education Teacher serves as a specialist for students who experience a significant
impact to their educational achievement due to social, emotional and behavioral skill
development, and who require support services in order to access and benefit from general
education instruction.
The Special Education Teacher provides direct instruction within specific skill deficit areas that
may negatively affect academic progress. Areas of direct instruction may include but are not
limited to social skills, functional academic skills, social/emotional/behavioral skill development,
problem solving, executive functioning, self-regulation, organization and self-management.
Additionally, the Special Education Teacher may assist general education classroom teachers
with appropriate intervention strategies and implementation of intervention plans.
The Special Education Teacher will follow the regulations associated with IDEA, FAPE, and
procedural safeguards and IEP development and implementation. The Special Education teacher
works under the supervision of the principal and the Student Services Director.
