Push-In
Some years a special education teacher(s) will push-in to a general education classroom. Push-in can mean a few different things - commonly seen as co-teaching a class or to support a few students that need it in a classroom with a mixture of students with and without a disability.
Teacher Aides
Several trained educators assist with day to day instruction for a small number of students. They work with students needing assistance getting from class to class, with students needing Response to Intervention (RTI) minutes, with students constant need of adult reinforcement, and so much more.
