The role of the Special Education 18+ Teacher in Bellville ISD is to foster the interest, creativity, and capability of our
students in order to fully develop each student’s successful pursuit of academic and career aspirations. Teachers in BISD
are charged with leading efforts to ensure our students have opportunities to explore and gain expertise in areas aligned
with their strengths and interests so that each individual becomes what one has the potential to be. This includes engaging
students’ hearts and minds, giving accountable ownership of purposeful work, and providing timely and meaningful
feedback. The primary goal of the 18+ Program Teacher is to provide specialized instruction in an individualized program
for students designed to help them fulfill their potential for intellectual, emotional, physical, and social growth and empower
them to become productive members of their community. Additionally, in BISD, all stakeholders are considered learners
and are expected to continue to learn, grow, and strive to positively contribute to the world around them.
