The Resource Room Teacher provides small-group and/or individualized instruction to students who need additional support in specific academic or social-emotional areas.

Experienced working with students with disabilities
Comfortable providing both individual and small-group instruction
Knowledgeable about IEPs, accommodations, and specialized instruction
