Description
Charter schools must ensure that each eligible student with disabilities enrolled in the school receives the services included in their IEP. In order for the Special Education department to run Special Education Environments we need Special Education Teachers. We have on average ten such classes. In addition, each Special Education cadet needs a Case Manager assigned to them to take care of any special requirements and also to create the legal documents associated with Special Education. It is recommended that a Case Manager has no more than 20 cadets per Caseload.
JOB SUMMARY Each Special Education Teacher/Case Manager will provide Special Education cadets with learning activities and experiences designed to help them fulfill their potential for intellectual, emotional, physical, and social growth. They will develop, differentiate, and/or modify lessons and other instructional materials at the cadet’s ability levels in the Special Education Environments. Additionally, as Case Managers, they will write IEP’s and conduct IEP meetings. They will be responsible for the legal plans to help cadet’s with special needs. Each cadet on a Case Manager’s caseload will be cared for individually. Each Case Manager will communicate with parents what our plan for their child is and how we will proceed to make sure those cadets get the best education for their needs.
