Clara Barton Elementary School

Special Education

The special education teachers at Clara Barton Elementary School use various techniques to promote learning. Depending on the disability, teaching methods can include individualized instruction, problem-solving assignments, and small-group work. When students need special accommodations to take a test, special education teachers see that appropriate ones are provided, such as having the questions read orally or lengthening the time allowed to take the test.

Special education teachers help to develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for each student. The IEP sets personalized goals for the student and is tailored to that student’s individual needs and ability. Teachers review the IEP with the student’s parents, school administrators, and the student’s general education teachers. Special education teachers work closely with parents to inform them of their child’s progress. They are involved in the students’ behavioral, social, and academic development.
