Secondary Intervention Teacher - 9th-12th Grade

Opportunity

At Mastery, nearly one quarter of students have individualized education plans (IEPs) to ensure they receive appropriate, just‑right educational opportunities. Our belief is that the IEP creates an opportunity for teachers, parents, school administrators, case managers, related services personnel, central office staff, and students (when appropriate) to work together to improve educational results for children with disabilities. We push the boundaries of what’s possible and special education teachers at Mastery deliver robust research‑based interventions, frequently monitor progress and make logical adjustments to produce the best possible outcomes for students.

Across Mastery our Specialized Services Programming spans from itinerant to supplemental levels of support. Our highest priority is for our diverse learners to spend as much time as possible within the general education setting and the minimum amount of time in self‑contained classrooms. We strive to maximize our teacher‑to‑student ratio in our Special Education programs. We have multiple classrooms across our network tailored toward Autism Support, Emotional Support, Life Skills and Multiple Disability Support as well as Multi‑Lingual Learner Support.

We have a robust Response to Intervention program and a wide variety of Common Foundation research‑based curriculums to support our diverse learners across grades K‑12 in Reading, Math, and Writing. Reading intervention programs include Fundations, Just Words, Wilson, Heggerty, Waggle, System
