With the passing of the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) in 2004, it became law that every child age three to twenty-one with a disability in the United States had access to a free and appropriate education through services provided by certified special education teachers and therapists. As service providers, special education teachers are responsible for supporting students academically, behaviorally, and socially through teaching and accommodations while also documenting these services. As the position and need for special education teachers grows, we are facing a shortage of certified educators, creating a critical need in our classrooms. While schools and districts provide new teacher training, there is a lack of community and support for special education teachers in secondary schools. The specific research question that I addressed through qualitative research methods was: How can I, in my role as a content specialist, identify and implement supports needed for secondary ESE teachers? In this practitioner research study conducted with two secondary special education teachers over an eight-week period, differentiated support made it possible to identify and implement individual supports for each teacher. Findings revealed that building a relationship laid the groundwork for successfully supporting teachers by creating a safe environment, providing reassurance, and moral support. A second finding of this research demonstrated that the areas of concern and need varied greatly with each participant, and conducting weekly check-ins allowed for flexibility and participant choice during meetings. Finally, the results showed that flexibility in scheduling and communicating was influential to the successful support system that was created. This study revealed that content specialists can build relationships, enhance community, and impact job performance and satisfaction through a designed system of support.
