01 Dec Special education teachers often collaborate and/or co-teach with general education teachers

Special education teachers often collaborate and/or co-teach with general education teachers to support caseload students and ensure they are receiving the service minutes and modifications specified in their IEPs, so they can progress toward achieving their established goals. Some of the special education teacher’s primary responsibilities include identifying specific modifications that should be made for students with exceptionalities, supporting general education teachers and other IEP stakeholders in applying modifications, and providing support to general education teachers by collaborating and/or co-teaching to ensure the student’s needs are being met.
