What are the responsibilities and job description for the Special Education Refocus/Behavior Room position at Arp Independent School District?
Resource Room Information
Special education instruction and related services are sometimes provided to a student with a disability in a setting other than the general education classroom. A special education resource room is a classroom where a special education program can be delivered to a student with a disability. This setting may be utilized when it is necessary to meet the needs of the student with a disability in a setting other than the general education classroom due to the need for extensive modification of the presentation of materials, methods of response of the student, setting, accommodations and/or the timing and scheduling of the materials.
Due to the necessity of such extensive accommodations the student's ARD Committee may determine that the needs of the student cannot be met in the general education environment and that services (full or partial) should be provided in a special education resource room.
Decisions to place a student in a resource room setting are based on the individual needs of the student, as determined by the student's IEP. A student receiving this level of support will generally receive some instruction in the special education resource room and some instruction in the general education classroom with modifications and/or accommodations.
Additional Duties
Performs other related tasks as assigned by the Principal and other central office administrators as designated by the Superintendent.
