*The Opportunity:*
At Mastery, all means all. Nearly one quarter of Mastery students have individualized education plans (IEPs) to ensure they receive appropriate, just-right, educational opportunities. At Mastery, we believe 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 believe we can push the boundaries of what's possible for our students. To accomplish this, 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 Programmingspans 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. To accomplish this, we have multiple classrooms across our network tailored towards Autism Support, Emotional Support, Life Skills and Multiple Disability Support as well as Multi-Lingual Learner Support.
At Mastery, we have a robust Response to Intervention program and are excited for you to bring your enthusiasm, skills and experiences to the team. We have a wide variety of Common Foundation research-based curriculums to support our diverse learners across grades K-12 in Reading, Math and Writing. Our Reading intervention programs include Fundations, Just Words, Wilson, Heggerty, Waggle, System44, Read180, i-Ready and IXL. Our Common Foundation research-based Math intervention programs include TouchMath, Number Worlds, Math180, i-Ready and IXL. Our Common Foundation research-based Writing intervention programs include Quill, Adventures in Language and Writing for Success.
