Supercharge Your Teaching Journey as a Lead Teacher : Join EIEI's Early Intervention Dream Team!
Joining the Early Intervention Education Institute (EIEI) is not just about a job but about embracing a mission close to the
heart. Imagine waking up every day knowing that you're helping shape young kids' lives, giving them a fighting chance to
succeed, no matter the odds.
At EIEI, we do not just see children; we see future artists, scientists, teachers, and leaders. The laughter, breakthrough
moments, small victories, and challenges are all part of the beautiful journey here. And the best part? You're never on
this journey alone.
Our EIEI family thrives on teamwork, mutual respect, and a shared passion. We are constantly learning from one

Responsibilities:
1. Assessing children's development: Teachers in early intervention should be able to conduct comprehensive assessments of children's developmental needs, strengths, and challenges. This includes observing and interacting with children, collecting and analyzing data, and identifying areas that need further attention.
2. Designing individualized education plans: Based on the assessment results, teachers should develop individualized education plans (IEPs) that outline specific goals and objectives for each child. These plans should be tailored to the unique needs of each child, and should involve parents or caregivers in the planning process.
3. Providing instructional support: Early intervention teachers should be able to provide individualized and group instruction to children to help them meet their goals. This may involve using a range of evidence-based strategies and activities that promote development in areas such as language, cognition, socialization, and motor skills.
4. Collaborating with other professionals: Early intervention teachers often work as part of a team that includes other professionals such as speech therapists, occupational therapists, and behavior specialists. Teachers should be able to collaborate effectively with these professionals to provide comprehensive and coordinated support for each child.
5. Communicating with families: Early intervention teachers should establish open and regular communication with families or caregivers to discuss their child's progress, goals, and any concerns they may have. This may involve regular meetings, progress reports, and providing resources or referrals to community services as needed.
6. Documenting progress and outcomes: Teachers should maintain detailed records of each child's progress, including assessments, instructional activities, and outcomes. This information should be used to guide ongoing instruction and to provide regular updates to families and other professionals involved in the child's care.
Overall, early intervention teachers play a critical role in helping young children with developmental delays or disabilities achieve their full potential. They work closely with families, other professionals, and community resources to provide the support and resources needed to promote growth and development in all areas of a child's life.
