About the position

The position is designed to create and implement a flexible program and classroom environment that is conducive to student learning and personal growth. The individual in this role will be responsible for developing lesson plans that align with established guidelines and ensuring that they meet the diverse needs of students.

In terms of instructional responsibilities, the educator will present subject matter to students in a way that maximizes learning opportunities. This includes reviewing student records to understand each student's abilities and needs, striving to enhance educational achievement, and demonstrating a variety of learning modalities in lessons.

Participation in curriculum planning with other staff members during designated meetings is expected, as well as incorporating diagnostic information required in students' Individual Education Plans (IEPs). The educator must take necessary precautions to protect supplies, equipment, materials, and facilities needed for effective instruction. In terms of school and community relations, the educator will strive to establish cooperative relations and communicate effectively with parents and guardians.
