Special Education Teacher
I'm a counseling enriched special day class teacher.
I set out my lessons and notes before school starts, coordinating with students as they come and go. I teach all subjects and work exclusively with students with mental health and behavioral concerns. We work a lot on self regulation. I meet with colleagues throughout the day to align our teaching. After class I have meetings. I help design curriculum to be more inclusive of differently abled learners. I'll update parents on new developments then coordinate the next day and reset to do it again.
Here's the first step for professionals
Look at your work this way: you only need to save one student. You only need to change one life. If you do that one time, you have been successful in your entire career. If you try to take on everything and everyone all at once, you'll burn out.
"You teach special education, so you don't know what you're talking about when you say we shouldn't focus on assessment."
