- Academic Instruction: Deliver small-group and one-on-one instructional interventions aligned with individualized education programs (IEPs), adapting materials developed by certified special education staff to meet students' unique learning needs.
- Data Collection & Tracking: Continuously monitor and log student behavioral data and intervention outcomes; assist certified teachers in analyzing trends for progress reporting.
- Collaborative Support: Partner with special education teachers and general education staff to ensure consistent implementation of accommodations across environments.
