What is an LDT-C???

The Learning Disabilities Teacher-Consultant is a master teacher who functions in the school environment as an educational diagnostician, instructional programmer, Child Study Team member, educational consultant and instructional leader. The LDT-C must have the professional preparation to make assessments, analyses, and classifications of students’ learning differences; understand and implement special education law; plan and facilitate delivery of programs for children with learning differences; transfer specific and successful instructional techniques to classroom teachers through consultation, collaboration, and in-service education; and effectively communicate with parents, teachers and administrators. An educational assessment shall be the responsibility of a learning disabilities teacher consultant employed by the district board of education.

 

My experience prior to coming to Long Valley is in special education. I was a special education classroom teacher for over 20 years. I love being able to combine my love of learning, working with special education students and collaborating with staff members and the families of the students at Flocktown-Kossmannl.
