Academic Intervention Specialist (Special Education Teacher)
The Academic Intervention Specialist is a Mild/Moderate Special Education Teacher who provides intensive academic instruction to students both in their classroom settings and in the learning lab within a charter school. Additionally, the Academic Intervention Specialist coordinates services at the school site and supports colleagues in supporting students successfully in diverse settings by providing teacher coaching, modeling, and development opportunities. The Academic Intervention Specialist works collaboratively with classroom teachers, school leadership, and the RTI implementation team to maintain the academic, social, and emotional needs of each student.
