As a SETSS teacher (previously sometimes referred to as a resource room teacher) you might:
- Provide specially designed and/or supplemental instruction to support the participation of the student with a disability in the general education classroom
- Provide consultation to the student's general education teacher
These services are designed to be flexible, helping students to remain in the general education classroom and use the combined expertise of both the general and special education teachers. They may be provided within the general education classroom or in a separate location. Group size for SETSS provided in the general education classroom or a separate location may not exceed a maximum of eight students.
Many special education teachers are no longer assigned to one program. Instead, they may be providing instruction in special classes or integrated co-teaching classes in addition to providing SETSS services. Special education teachers at all levels have the right to express a preference for program designation (ICT, special class, SETSS, etc.) and age range.
