What is the role of an itinerant teacher?

Answer 1

I am an Itinerant teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing. Here is my role: I travel from school to school in several districts and work one on one with students. Sometimes I work in the classroom with them. I do not have my own space, and must always find a place to work in my schools. I collaborate with the parents, child study team, and other teachers regarding my student's education. I am usually not notified if my student is absent, so my trips to the school can be wasted. I also do the following, but they may be as a role of a teacher of the deaf and not so much as an itinerant: staff training, student inservices, equipment monitoring and troubleshooting, auditory training, vocabulary, pragmatic, and expressive and receptive language skills. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

An itinerant teacher is basically another way of saying a teacher who either teaches arts, music, librarians, computer sciences, practical living (P.E.) teachers. It is another way of making these teachers necessary to the education process because if they were designated by their previous known identities they would immediately be cut because of No Child Left Behind so that the teachers can perform the miracle of 2014 and get every child equal to the grade level that they are supposed to be (but that is another beef). So if you loved your art teacher in the past or enjoyed P.E., find an itinerate teacher at your child's school and give them a hug. They certainly need it.

Answer 3

To teach classes - but not have a set base of operations (their own classroom - they usually have to share with others).

Good Luck!!!
