Special Education Teacher Duties and Responsibilities
While the special education teacher’s duties can vary depending on the classroom and student, most share several core responsibilities:
Develop Curriculum and Lesson Plans One of the special education teacher’s core responsibilities is developing lesson plans that meet educational standards and the specific needs of students within the classroom. This process generally involves working with students, administrators, and parents to develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for each student that addresses their specific educational needs and disability.
Adapt Classroom Materials and Activities Special education teachers work with students, parents, and teachers to adapt classroom materials and activities based on a student’s particular needs and abilities. This can include adapting existing lessons to make materials more accessible for special education students or developing new materials and activities that are specifically tailored to special education students’ needs.
Lead Classroom Activities From day to day, the special education teacher leads a variety of classroom activities that help meet educational goals and maintain students’ social, behavioral, and mental health. The special education teacher may work with the class as a whole, break students into smaller groups, or work with individual students throughout the day. In inclusive classrooms, a special education teacher works with general education material to lead activities.
Assess Student Progress and Performance Throughout the school year, special education teachers monitor and assess student progress and learning. This can include taking daily reports and notes related to each student’s successes and challenges within the classroom, as well as periodically assessing and adjusting the student’s IEP. In addition, special education teachers prepare and submit reports on student outcomes to administrators.
Confer with Parents and Administrators Special education teachers frequently work with parents and school administrators to discuss student progress, classroom policies and procedures, and changes to IEPs. In parent conferences, the special education teacher provides updates on the student’s progress within the classroom and answers parent questions. A meeting with administrators may involve developing more effective or inclusive classroom materials.
Special Education Teacher Skills and Qualifications
Special education teachers help students with a range of physical, mental, learning, and emotional disabilities succeed in the classroom. Special education teachers tend to have at least a bachelor’s degree, state licensure, and the following skills:
- Instructional design – special education teachers develop and adapt classroom lessons and materials to meet specific student needs, so they should have some skill with lesson planning and curriculum development
- Student assessment – in this role, special education teachers determine each student’s specific needs to design their IEP and monitor their progress, so strong assessment skills are vital
- Classroom leadership – special education teachers need to manage their classrooms and may work with teaching assistants to organize, plan, and adapt activities from day to day
- Organization skills – throughout the year, special education teachers monitor student progress and may update their IEPs, so they should be organized and highly detail oriented
- Communication skills – effective communication is also important in this role, since special education teachers work with students and parents to ensure that students can access resources and meet their goals
Special Education Teacher Salary and Outlook
Special education teacher salaries can vary depending on district and level of experience. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) found that special education teachers earn a median annual salary of $58,980. The highest-paid 10 percent of special education teachers earn more than $95,320, while the lowest paid earn less than $38,660. The BLS expects employment of special education teachers to grow 8 percent through 2026.
