The teacher must be skilled in identifying individual student needs and tailoring instruction to ensure equitable access to the mathematics curriculum. The candidate should be familiar with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) where applicable. Sensitivity to cultural, linguistic, and socio-economic differences is essential.
Campus Facilities (Inclusive Practices)
The school is committed to providing an inclusive environment with facilities designed to support diverse learners. The campus includes ramps, elevators, and accessible restrooms for students with mobility challenges.
