Inclusion Teacher - Fujairah, United Arab Emirates - DIYAR PRIVATE ACADEMY
Description
Special needs students often have a team (literally) that oversees their education plan, beyond the curriculum of the grade level.
This team can consist of a diverse group of people that includes everyone from learning and developmental experts to the principal and students' parents.
Collaborating with such a diverse team can be a challenge for the inclusion teacher since each member can have has his or her distinct perspective on 'what's in the best interest of the student' – a guiding statement, and principle of special education.
Meanwhile, a special education student's Individualized Education Plan (IEP) contains accommodations that must be followed at all times.Some students' IEPs may require a teacher to orally read tests, modify homework assignments or take notes for students to review later.
An inclusion teacher may also regularly evaluate whether certain accommodations can be removed from the IEP at the next review or if new accommodations should be put in place.
