A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A HUMAN SERVICES TEACHER

This involves designing and delivering lessons that are tailored to the individual needs and capabilities of each student, while also adhering to grade-level standards.
To ensure that students make continuous progress, you collaborate closely with other classroom teachers, school psychologists, various specialists, and school social workers to develop individualized integrated plans. This collaborative approach enables you to set clear learning goals for each student, assess their progress, and maintain accurate records of your evaluations.

As required, you also provide supervision and training to teaching assistants to ensure that they are equipped to support the needs of students.
Your dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of students with disabilities is a clear demonstration of your commitment to this critical teaching role. And that is what makes you perfect for this position in special education!
