Exceptional Student Educator Specialists<\/strong> (ESE) search for activities and resources that can be easily adapted to meet the academic needs of each child.<\/p>

They also work with school counselors, speech-language pathologists, school psychologists, occupational therapists and parents to help children develop and socialize.<\/p>

When it is determined that a student qualifies for special education services, a team meets to develop a Individualized Education Plan (IEP)<\/strong> that meets that student’s needs.<\/p>

The IEP team consists of the student, the student’s parents, the ESE Specialist, at least one of the student’s regular classroom teachers, and other specialists and administrators.<\/p>

This team meets throughout the year to discuss the student’s progress and whether the IEP needs to be adjusted in any way. Although each team member contributes to the development of the document, the ESE Specialist provides unique input on special needs, learning strategies, modifications and implementation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

All students, learn in different ways. Teachers must be able to discern these learning differences and modify lessons to suit their particular groups of students.<\/p>

  • Teaching students with disabilities and special learning needs \u2013 from autism to visual impairment \u2013 requires unique training that most general teachers do not receive. It also includes the use of assistive and adaptive technologies that help students overcome physical or cognitive limitations.<\/li>
  • Depending on the teaching position, the ESE Specialist may instruct small groups of students or work one on one. At times special needs students may be pulled out of their general education classes for individual work or therapy \u2013 such as speech \u2013 with the special education teacher.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    A student\u2019s academic goals must be both challenging and achievable.<\/p>

    • Part of individualized instruction involves adapting the subject curriculum for each student based on the requirements of his or her IEP.

      <\/li>
    • Adaptations come in many forms, such as altering classroom seating, providing graphic organizers and other visual aids during presentations, adjusting the duration of activities, allowing verbal rather than written responses, highlighting text and adjusting font size for visibility, and simplifying wording.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Even though they may also be adapted to meet students\u2019 needs, assessments are ongoing.<\/p>

      • Assessments can be as informal as students holding a thumb up or down to show their understanding, or as formal as a statewide end-of-course exam.

        <\/li>
      • Assessments are how special educators monitor students\u2019 progress and know whether they are meeting their annual IEP goals.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

        • ESE Specialists are responsible for distributing IEPs to their schools\u2019 general education teachers and making sure those teachers understand the IEP requirements and how best to implement the modifications.<\/li>
        • The ESE Specialist may also visit the classroom to give the special needs student extra guidance. This sometimes looks like \u201cteam teaching,\u201d where the regular classroom teacher presents a lesson, and the special education teacher follows up with the student to check for understanding.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
