Special educators can have many roles and responsibilities in any given school setting.
Their activities each day will be determined by the children they are teaching, the kinds and severity of disabilities those students have, the children's ages, and the setting in which the teachers are working. Juggling the many demands on their time is a challenging and sometimes frustrating endeavor. This does not include the time they spend beyond the regular school day preparing lesson plans, grading papers, and meeting with other professionals. The methods they use and the learning goals they develop will be determined by the students' abilities, age, setting, and many other variables. For example, dressing, eating, and toileting could be a typical part of the curriculum for many students with severe disabilities but are not normally taught in general education classrooms.
