What are the responsibilities and job description for the Special Education Teacher - Adapted Classroom position at Hayesville Primary School?
Special Education Teacher
This
position provides specialized instructional support to students with the highest level of need. To ensure exceptional service delivery, the classroom is structured with a significantly reduced caseload, allowing the teacher to offer highly individualized instruction, develop and implement IEPs, and facilitate meaningful, well-planned family and team meetings.
Although the students in this setting require higher levels of support, the small class size fosters strong relationship-building, targeted skill development, and a collaborative, supportive learning environment. Students assigned to the adapted classroom also participate in their general education grade-level environments, promoting same-age peer interactions, inclusion, and the development of essential social and communication skills.
The classroom is additionally supported by one full-time teacher assistant and an additional assistant who rotates in and out of the classroom, ensuring consistent, high-quality support for both students and staff.
