Special Education Teacher Jobs in Massachusetts

A Special Education Teacher in secondary education is responsible for instructing and guiding students who have varying types of disabilities. These disabilities can be either physical, mental, emotional, or learning-related. These teachers are required to work alongside general education teachers, school counselors, and administrators to create individualized education programs (IEPs) tailored to meet the specific needs of each student. They deliver lessons that are suitable for the abilities of all their students, while also assessing and reporting their progress to parents and relevant school officials.

Special Education Teachers should possess strong interpersonal skills, patience, organizational skills, and a deep understanding of the special needs of their students. They should have a bachelor's degree in special education, and in many cases, they need to acquire a master's degree in special education. Furthermore, they need to be certified by the state where they intend to practice. Prior to becoming a Special Education Teacher, a person might have roles such as a Teaching Assistant, Special Education Paraprofessional, or a General Education Teacher to gain relevant experience and skills.
