Special Ed Teacher
As a dedicated Special Education Teacher, I personalize instructions for students with disabilities. To support my class, I use multiple assessment types, a practice shared by 78% of special education teachers. I am actively involved in the initial assessments of students, regularly check for ongoing progress, and participate in the re-evaluation of students. Additionally, I take the time to align special education programs with district and state requirements, ensuring compliance with state needs. I also recommend assessment tools to support students progress, while striving to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment.
