An intervention specialist is
specifically trained and certified to teach students with learning disabilities
that affect their academic success in general education content. Intervention
specialists are knowledgeable about the general education curriculum, modified
curricula, and intervention strategies to support instruction in academics and
behavior. They know the content of each learner's special education program and
make accommodations and modifications to provide access to educational content,
instruction, and assessments. Intervention specialists may collaboratively plan
with general education teachers and collaboratively implement accommodations
for students with disabilities. Intervention specialists and general education
teachers often teach together, and this is referred to as co-teaching. Applicants
who currently hold an initial teaching license in SPED Interventionist may
apply for admission to the M.Ed. in Special Education Interventionist program.
Persons licensed in other areas may take graduate level courses for an add-on
endorsement in either K-8 or 6-12 Interventionist licensure. Applicants who do
not have a current teaching license must hold a bachelor's degree from a
regionally accredited college or university and must meet all initial licensure
clinical practice program requirements, including a semester of residency.
