Renee, from White replied:
I work in PreK, K and 1st grade classrooms; sharing time with our Paraprofessional according to the needs of the children with special needs. We work to enhance the ability for children to meet IEP goals within the structure of the regular class setting. I manage and monitor IEPs, through teacher training and support. Other job roles are: to learn from all professionals on the team, work with parents through guidance and support, to make adaptations to curriculum and strategies that will benefit ALL children. Often I am the first to introduce a behavior program to a child; then model it for the teacher and paraprofessional. The intent is for the teacher and child to be able to continue the plan. An inclusion teacher's job is well done, when she can step back and see things happen without her.
