The Role

Key Responsibilities

  • Instructional Support: Design and implement specially designed instruction (SDI) for students with IEPs, specifically targeting foundational and secondary math concepts.

  • Inclusive Practices: Collaborate with general education teachers to modify curriculum and provide "push-in" support to ensure student success in the least restrictive environment.

  • IEP Management: Develop, write, and manage Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), including progress monitoring and facilitating annual reviews.

  • Data Driven: Use formal and informal assessments to track student growth and adjust instructional strategies accordingly.

Qualifications

  • Licensure: Valid Arkansas Teaching License in Special Education (K–12 or 7–12).

  • Math Proficiency: Strong comfort level with secondary math concepts (Algebra, Geometry, etc.) and the ability to break them down for diverse learners.

  • Mindset: A firm belief that all students can learn and a commitment to inclusive classroom models.
