I think that teachers working with students who have IEP and 504 accommodations is the most important role a teacher plays. Helping students learn, function and succeed on a level playing field by providing adjusted assignments and/or other student needs is crucial to student success. Understanding a students limitations and knowing how to help them learn and understand the material will encourage success and help when it comes to setting goals and annual reviews.
Understanding your students and their needs/accommodations is also one of the most challenging roles a teacher can play. At some points it may seem that you are preparing for an entirely different class for students with high demand accommodations. It takes teachers going the extra mile to help students learn at their level and at a pace that is appropriate for their learning style and needs. This is a very challenging role that teachers play but at the same time it is one of utmost importance.
