Support IEP/504/MTSS Accommodation Implementation and Mentor Readiness - Generate and maintain per-student accommodation summaries (IEP, 504, ELL, MTSS) for assigned mentor cohort; ensure mentors are briefed before each session. - Ensure pre-class scaffolds are deployed for students with support plans. - Monitor whether accommodation plans are being implemented with fidelity; flag concerns to the Director of Instruction & Assessment. - Stay current on special education compliance requirements for assigned grade span (MS or HS) and maintain documentation in accordance with WL policy.
