SEN teacher roles and responsibilities
As an SEN teacher, you’ll have the opportunity to inspire students, create engaging learning experiences, and contribute to the development of inclusive and supportive school communities.
In SEN schools, teachers work with students who have a range of special educational needs, including autism, learning disabilities, and communication difficulties. They use their expertise and creativity to adapt teaching methods and resources to meet the unique needs of each student.
As an SEN teacher, your responsibilities encompass a wide range of duties aimed at ensuring every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential. You’ll collaborate closely with other professionals, including teaching assistants, therapists, and specialists, to address the unique learning needs of each student. This involves adapting teaching strategies, resources, and assessments to accommodate diverse learning styles and abilities. Additionally, SEN teachers provide ongoing assessment, monitoring, and feedback to track student progress and make necessary adjustments to support their development.
