  • Assess student abilities, strengths, and areas for growth, using data to guide instruction.
  • Collaborate with colleagues, families, and support staff to ensure each student’s success.
  • Foster a classroom environment that promotes respect, inclusivity, and positive behavior.
  • Support students in developing both academic and life skills that prepare them for success beyond the classroom.
  • Communicate regularly with families to celebrate progress and provide meaningful updates.

Requirements:
