Special education students are entitled to the least restricted environment.
The least restrictive environment is the educational setting that most closely resembles a regular school program and also meets the child's special educational needs.
This means that because of inclusion, you may have students who qualify for special education services in your regular education classroom even though you are not a certified special education teacher.
In this case, you may also be asked to participate in a meeting called an ARD to address the students needs within your classroom.
You should contact the special education lead teacher or special education department chair on campus with your questions about your responsibilities as a teacher and assistance with meeting student needs.
