Itinerant Special Education Teacher

About the Role

Special education has been a federally mandated program to serve educationally disabled children, ages 3 to 21, since the passage of Public Law 94-142 (Equal Education for the Handicapped Act) in 1975, reauthorized and retitled in 1990 as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). St. Vrain Valley School District (SVVSD) provides education services for students identified with mild to profound disabilities. The identification of an educational disability and necessary services is determined through a "staffing" process involving parents, school administrators, regular education teachers, special education personnel, and the student when appropriate. An Individual Education Plan (IEP) is developed by the team and reviewed annually with modifications as needed.

SVVSD’s philosophy is that students with disabilities should be educated with their peers in their neighborhood school unless their needs require a more specialized environment. The district offers a continuum of services, from consultation with regular education teachers to direct services, delivered by special education staff and itinerant related service providers (e.g., speech/language, occupational therapists).

This position is full-time (1.0 FTE) with 7 hours per day and 186 days per year.
