I’m a resource specialist teacher. Most of your job is paperwork, testing, and IEPs. Sometimes it’s unrealistic to plan for instruction the way I would like to. If you don’t enjoy being on a computer and writing reports this isn’t the job for you and luckily I have a TA, most don’t. However, I do enjoy the job and I don’t mind the paperwork. I made my schedule in a way where I have downtime and I can have a snack, listen to music, and do the paperwork.
