SOC 25-2051
Special education teachers adapt curricula and materials to students' educational needs, deliver individual, small-group or class instruction, record progress and collaborate with parents, general education teachers and support teams. This page covers multiple stages from preschool to secondary school; the US statistics use the 25-2050 occupational family and do not treat an elementary sub-occupation profile as all teachers.
Model impact index for three equally weighted representative core tasks; not a measured share of working time or a job-loss probability. floor((75+25+25)/3+0.5)=42; fermatmind-ai-impact-v1; 2026-10-18.
Insufficient evidence: no national Chinese independent wage and no three complete pay samples with amounts were obtained. The US 2025 family median is 67170 dollars, with a 2025–2035 change of −0.1% and annual average openings of 37100; these cannot serve as Chinese income or an individual hiring prediction.
The suggestions come from the BLS overall occupation, Chinese teacher professional standards and the editorial design exercise. The paper sample can show objectives, denominators, material accessibility and handover judgments, but cannot measure real classroom effects, diagnostic ability or teaching qualifications.
See whether you are willing to observe continuously, acknowledge record gaps and adjust methods with the team. Liking to help students is only a starting point and cannot replace educational training, practical feedback and responsibility for students' rights.

Career direction comparison
First compare general teaching, classroom support, curriculum coordination and occupational therapy, then choose objective design or progress feedback for the paper experience. The overall page does not add up the stage statistics as transfer opportunities.
| Career direction | Core work and output | Key differences | Best-fit choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elementary school teachers (except special education) | Hands over that stage's curriculum teaching, learning assessment and home-school feedback. | General elementary teachers teach basic subjects and support student development, with the position's object mainly the general curriculum of that stage. | Those wanting subject classrooms as the focus can compare; teaching qualifications, curriculum requirements and special support responsibilities are checked separately. |

AI impact on this career
Insufficient evidence: no actual AI adoption rate, net replacement numbers or classroom effect evidence for this occupation was obtained. AI can assist with curriculum drafts, format organization and communication drafts, which is task-level editorial analysis; judgment of educational needs, instructional delivery, progress assessment and student rights still require teachers and the team.

Chinese mainland salary reference
The two postings show that regional recruitment conditions differ; they do not prove a national wage, universal establishment, a unified service duration or that recruitment is still open.
Chinese professional standards cover special education teaching at different stages; the teaching stage, position title, degree and teaching qualification are checked against the specific posting.
1 full-time teacher for life adaptation, postgraduate master's degree or above, with a bachelor's degree acceptable for graduates of the six ministry-affiliated normal universities; secondary school or vocational school teaching qualification and Mandarin grade two level B or above. Minimum service of 6 years, pay per policy, amount not disclosed, and applications have closed.
4 special education teachers, 2026 graduates with a bachelor's degree or above; included in the fully funded public institution establishment, with a minimum service of 5 years after passing probation. See the attachment for the specific majors; this page did not verify the attachment's per-position qualifications; the posting has no wage amount and applications have closed.
US pay reference
The 2025 family annual median wage is 67170 dollars. The EP projection change is −0.1% with annual average openings of 37100; the OOH summary shows 0% as a whole number, this page uses the original EP change rate, and the openings are mainly replacements.

| Median (50th percentile) | 67170 dollars/year | 2025 US 25-2050 family salaried | 67170 dollars is the 50th percentile, with half of wage and salary employees above and half below, not a mean or an income promise. |
Career fit guide
Insufficient evidence: no unified overall occupational family interest six values and no direct evidence that personality scores predict special education performance were obtained. The discussable clue is willingness to keep checking conditions, adapting materials and acknowledging progress record limits; continue verifying with portfolio work and supervised practice.
You may be better suited to： Willing to trace back observation conditions, keep unknowns and make specific material revisions after team feedback.
Be cautious in these situations： If the tendency is always to characterize a student from a single result, or to avoid records and difficult conversations, learn about the actual classroom responsibilities first.
Do an entry exercise： Use P1–P4 to complete the four portfolio pieces in 30–45 minutes; seal the first draft before looking at the answers, and revise by omissions rather than assigning a suitability score.
Work pressure, risks and occupational boundaries
The main pressure comes from differing support needs, continuous teaching, accurate records and multi-party communication. Student rights, qualifications and real support resources must be checked first, and patience or tools are not substitutes for professional arrangements.
The BLS overall occupation provides work stress and tasks, and the Chinese professional standards provide rights and collaboration requirements; the specific error scenarios below are editorial analysis and do not represent incident frequency.
Typical scenario：Treating getting better directly as a measurable objective.
Roles most affected：Those taking on objective design and teaching
Possible consequence：Vague objectives make the materials and observations not correspond.
Getting started, qualifications and career development
First choose the stage and educational institution, check the teaching qualification, professional training and position conditions, use P1–P4 to confirm interest in the objectives, materials and records, then look for supervised practice opportunities.
Career prospects and moves to related occupations
The US 25-2050 family 2025–2035 projection change is −0.1%, with annual average openings of 37100 mainly replacements; this does not represent any stage, city or current recruitment. Insufficient evidence: no independent Chinese position growth or national wage was obtained, so check the education object and qualifications before transferring.
United States, national · 25-2050 special education teacher family
584100→583800 people; published net decrease of 300, change of −0.1%
Employment population and ten-year change rate
The family headcount is nearly stable, and this cannot be used to assert the same change in every stage or region.
Does not establish：EP retains −0.1%; OOH shows 0% as a whole number, and the rounding difference is not treated as a different trend or AI causality.
It covers multiple stages of special education teachers; the US statistics use the 25-2050 family, and the specific preschool year to secondary school must be checked on the stage pages.
Educational objectives, adapted materials, teaching records and progress feedback; plans and data require teachers and the team to review them against the actual student.
Choose a real task from this page for a small practice project or a conversation with someone in the field. Use the planning guides to set a date, an output and feedback questions before deciding whether to continue.
First do the P1–P4 paper exercise: check objectives and records, calculate the proportion of independent responses, and write the material adaptations and home-school handover. All materials are fictional; do not contact real students, make diagnoses or arrange real teaching based on the exercise.
First compare the objects and qualifications of general-stage teaching, teacher assistants, curriculum coordination and occupational therapy. The overall occupation page does not select your teaching stage; after moving to a sub-page, check the curriculum, certificates and job conditions.
Read the existing educational assessments and curriculum requirements, confirm the learning objectives and support conditions, adapt the presentation and activities, then observe performance. Assessment of teaching needs differs from medical diagnosis, and a capacity label must not be attached to a student on the basis of a single response.
The work includes classroom, small-group or individual instruction and cross-staff collaboration. The specific stage, school support resources, class size and home-visit arrangements change the tasks, and a unified Chinese configuration is not inferred from US profiles.
Compared with teacher assistants: teachers take on educational objectives, instruction and progress assessment, while assistants support the classroom and students under the teacher's direction. Assistant experience can add practice but does not automatically earn a teaching qualification or independent teaching authority.
| Dimension | Primary track | Comparison track |
|---|---|---|
| Core purpose | Special education teachers: organize instruction and track students' educational progress. | Teacher assistants: support the classroom work of qualified teachers. |
| Main object and basis | Teachers combine educational assessments, curriculum content, existing records and team feedback. | Assistants receive the teacher's arrangements, classroom materials and support requirements. |
| Delivery records | Teachers hand over teaching objectives, adapted materials and progress feedback. | Assistants hand over support records and the questions that require the teacher's judgment. |
| Review basis | Teachers check whether the objectives, adaptations and performance evidence correspond. | Assistants check whether they have completed the support as directed and do not change educational objectives on their own. |
| Responsible party | Teachers are responsible for the actual teaching, and clinical, crisis and management matters go to the corresponding personnel. | Assistants help within the job's authorization and do not sign in place of teachers or clinical staff. |
| Authority and approval | Being able to support a classroom does not mean already having objective design, assessment and teaching qualifications. | Being able to make a paper objective table does not mean being able to manage a real classroom independently. |
| Conclusion boundary | The BLS overall occupation supports assessment of educational needs, curriculum adaptation, individualized plans, instruction, records and teamwork. The O*NET elementary 25-2056.00 is a stage example only and cannot represent the whole family's interest or ability values. | P1–P4 are for career exploration only and must not be used for real student diagnosis, behaviour handling or educational placement. |
Hand over the educational basis; medical diagnoses must not be made from it.
Hand over the objectives, support conditions and review arrangements.
Real delivery requires training, qualifications and institutional arrangements.
Distinguish independent performance from assisted completion, and keep the gaps.
State the facts and pending questions, without guaranteeing outcomes.
Collaborative plans are implemented according to the stage and team authority.
Insufficient evidence: no national Chinese independent wage and no US 25-2050 family 25th / 75th wage percentiles were obtained. The US wage and projection use the 25-2050 family; the Chinese broad averages and two historical postings without amounts are not a national teacher wage, and the verified US median and 10 / 90 bounds are listed separately.
Check whether it is preschool, elementary, middle or high school, and state the subject taught and the students supported.
Check whether it is a special education school, a support position in a general school or another educational institution, and the contract and responsibilities.
Check teaching, lesson preparation, record-keeping and home-school meeting time; the school-year arrangement must not be treated as a promise of fully paid annual leave.
Check class size, assistants and specialist support, materials and equipment and training resources.
| Hands over support records completed per the teacher's arrangements and the issues requiring escalation. |
| Teacher assistants support students and help in the classroom under the direction of a qualified teacher. |
| Those wanting to learn about the classroom through assisting can compare; an assistant is not a low-threshold independent teacher. |
| Curriculum coordinators | Hands over curriculum materials, implementation support and assessment feedback. | Curriculum coordinators oversee school curricula and teaching standards, develop materials and support implementation and evaluation. | Those preferring curriculum and teacher support can compare; an education background and relevant qualifications are usually also required. |
|---|
| Occupational therapists | Hands over professional assessment and approved therapy services, which cannot be replaced by a teaching exercise. | Occupational therapists help people with injuries, illnesses or disabilities improve daily living function, which belongs to another professional scope. | Anyone interested must check clinical training and practising conditions separately; teaching experience cannot replace therapy qualifications. |
|---|
| Internal: objectives and material adaptation | Hand over the objective check and the material adaptation plan. | The internal direction focuses on educational objectives, activities and accessible materials and is not a separate statistical occupation. | Those willing to break vague objectives into observable conditions should start with P1/P2. |
|---|
| Internal: progress records and collaboration | Hand over the progress recalculation, open questions and handover notes. | The internal direction focuses on observation denominators, prompts, gaps and team explanations. | Those willing to acknowledge data limits and trace back conditions should start with P3/P4. |
|---|
The four adjacent objects are compared by BLS occupational definitions; the last two rows are internal work directions for special education teachers. Teaching support, curriculum coordination and clinical therapy do not share qualifications merely because they serve students together.
Choose the work object from the portfolio, then check the target position's stage and qualifications; serving students together does not mean the roles can substitute for one another.
Potential exposure: a task may be changed by a tool, which does not mean schools have adopted it or teachers have been replaced.
Actual adoption: requires direct evidence of the school, tool, scope and timing; a software list is insufficient.
Net employment effect: population, funding, organizational and technological factors must be separated, and this page has no AI causal estimate.
| Work area | Task | Current change | Human control point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curriculum adaptation | Curriculum material first draft | Editorial analysis: can assist with drafts, actual adoption not verified. | Check the teaching objectives and presentation conditions |
| Progress records | Observation sheet and denominator verification | Editorial analysis: can assist with formats and calculations, requiring independent recalculation. | Check the definitions of independent and prompted, and do not alter the observation facts |
| Team communication | Home-school feedback first draft | Editorial analysis: can assist with structure and cannot send or decide automatically. | Check the facts, recipients and confidentiality scope |
| Educational assessment | Educational needs and objective selection | The core judgment depends on the student's actual situation, and tool text is insufficient. | Teachers and the team combine the educational basis |
| On-site teaching | Classroom and individual instruction | Real interaction, support and safety cannot be verified by paper drafts. | Trained personnel implement per institutional arrangements |
| Teaching transitions | Plan updates and stage transitions | Can assist with lists; the team is responsible for the actual adjustments. | Check the support conditions, observation records and open questions |
| School organization | Tool use and teacher support | Organizational deployment and effects are not verified, and adoption cannot be inferred from a framework. | Leads check training, resources and data rules |
Five kinds of evidence support tasks, potential exposure, methods and risk respectively and cannot be combined into a teacher replacement rate. Unverified adoption and effects remain explicit gaps.
The overall occupation includes different stages and schools, and tool potential, staff responsibilities and actual configuration must be judged separately; an elementary software list cannot summarize all teachers.
AI primarily changesDrafts general curriculum materials and reduces some formatting work.
Human responsibility remainsTeachers check the curriculum objectives, content accuracy, accessible presentation and student needs.
AI primarily changesOrganizes permitted fictional observation sheets and draft calculations.
Human responsibility remainsTeachers check prompts, denominators, missing rows and whether conclusions go beyond the records.
AI primarily changesDrafts the home-school feedback structure or meeting to-dos.
Human responsibility remainsTeachers check facts, wording, permissions and recipients, and the team makes the actual decisions.
Tool output must be checked item by item, and teaching and team responsibility is not transferred to software by using generated drafts.
First define the curriculum objectives, fictional inputs and the permitted data scope.
Check whether the draft is faithful to the objectives and whether it changes key teaching conditions.
Recalculate the denominator and independent correct count, listing missing items or changed conditions separately.
Check that the wording is understandable and the materials accessible, and pass it to the corresponding teacher or team for review.
Record the changes, open items and recipients, then implement under real authorization.
A draft may summarize support needs as a student's fixed deficits.
Control: Use neutral, observable wording, distinguish recorded facts from interpretation, and prohibit diagnostic extrapolation.
Fictional quotations or curriculum facts will mislead teaching preparation.
Control: Trace back to the original curriculum text and trusted materials item by item, keeping unchecked items flagged.
Real educational records contain sensitive student information.
Control: Check permissions and the data scope per institutional rules; the exercise uses entirely fictional materials.
Automatic summaries may lose prompts, denominators and material changes.
Control: Keep the original observation rows, recalculate and note non-comparable conditions, and do not let the summary fill in gaps.
A generated plan may conceal missing qualifications or a decision not made by the team.
Control: Curriculum suggestions, teaching qualifications and real implementation are checked separately, and individualized arrangements cannot be published directly.
First practise educational objectives, material adaptation and record review, and use fictional materials to compare generated drafts with the original conditions.
First check training and stage qualifications; a generated lesson plan cannot replace supervised practice or teacher entry requirements.
Try draft tools within the range the institution permits, and trace back facts, accessibility and student record permissions.
Clarify the tool's scope of use, the reviewers and the data rules, and evaluate with real quality feedback rather than promotional time savings.
The occupation as a whole cannot be handed to AI; curriculum and record drafts still require teachers to check objectives, student needs and evidence.

This round's bounded search of government, university and education recruitment did not obtain a third posting containing the position object, region and date, complete conditions and an amount of pay together, and the proposed hire list or other subjects' wages are not used as a substitute.
The Chinese teaching qualification requirement and the employer's degree conditions are checked separately; the Longyan and Wuxi postings cannot be generalized into a unified national master's degree, fresh graduate or service duration threshold.
| Preparation background | Teaching task direction | Verification advice |
|---|---|---|
| Normal or special education studies | Objective and curriculum fundamentals | Add educational assessment, material adaptation and supervised practice, and check the stage qualification. |
| Existing subject teaching | Learning support adaptation | Add special education professional knowledge and teamwork; this does not automatically cover all student needs. |
| Classroom assistance experience | Progress record support | Accumulate record-keeping ability under the teacher's direction, and assistant experience does not automatically earn a teaching qualification. |
| Cross-professional exploration | Paper education sample | First do P1–P4, then check the curriculum, internship, teaching qualification and regional recruitment conditions. |
The following is an editorial preparation direction, not a degree or wage table; paper portfolio work does not replace qualifications and real practice.
Check the stage, curriculum, student support, class and specialist staffing.
Check the boundaries between inclusive support and collaboration with general education teachers, and do not infer the configuration from the title.
Check whether it is an education and teaching position, the contract and the qualifications, and do not merge rehabilitation or clinical titles into teacher.
Insufficient evidence: no occupational evidence of generative AI affecting Chinese special education teacher wages was obtained, so no pay increase, pay cut or staffing saving share can be inferred.

67170 dollars is the US family median for wage and salary employees, not a newcomer's starting salary, a mean or Chinese teacher income.
The OOH combines wages across multiple stages. Teacher annual wages are not converted into actual paid hours or full-year holiday pay using a fixed 2080 hours.
The 10th and 90th percentiles are OOH bound statements, and the 25th and 75th were not obtained; elementary sub-occupation percentiles cannot be taken to fill the family distribution.
A wage offer should be checked against the stage, region, institution and contract scope; family percentiles do not imply an amount guaranteed by degree or years.

|---|---|---|
| Local public elementary and secondary education | 69470 dollars/year | The 2025 family annual median wage in that industry, not all government positions or Chinese pay. |
| Private elementary and secondary education | 61290 dollars/year | The 2025 family annual median wage in that industry, not every private institution's offer. |
| Other industries (not obtained) | Insufficient evidence: no applicable industry value was obtained. | The OOH publishes two industry medians, and this page does not borrow single values from other occupations or stages. |

The wages come from statistics on wage and salary employees and exclude the self-employed; the employment projection population and the wage coverage differ, and fee income and institutional turnover are not an individual teacher's wage.
This page uses annual wages and does not mechanically derive teacher hourly pay, holiday pay or actual hours from 2080 hours. The specific school year, pay cycle and contract must be checked separately.
Stage, region, public or private school, contract, experience and job responsibilities affect the offer; the two industry medians are group statistics, not a fixed difference for the same person changing employer.

The Ministry of Education standards and the BLS overall page support educational objectives, material adaptation, instruction and records; the actual position's stage, curriculum, support configuration and teaching qualification must still be checked item by item.
Compare the position text with your own evidence of responsibilities, and do not merge clinical or assistant roles based on the title.
Use the entirely fictional P1–P4 to show the objectives, materials, independent proportion and open items; seal the first draft first, then use the answer to list the basis for revisions.
The portfolio can support discussion of record habits and does not represent an employer examination, qualification or real student effects.
You are to check a fictional teaching record and hand over the objective card, material adaptation note, recalculation table and home-school handover. Only the anonymous symbol A is used; it contains no real student identity or diagnosis, no teaching is delivered and no diagnosis is made.
P1: the objective is to point out the circle within 10 seconds of presenting one two-image card and giving the spoken task point out the circle, without extra prompting. Each presentation counts as 1 opportunity. I means correct without extra prompting, P means correct after extra spoken prompting and W means wrong or no response; a blank does not equal I. There are 5 opportunities each time, and the paper achievement condition is at least 4 I in each of 3 consecutive observations under the same material conditions.
P2: the 1st observation uses the M1 two-image card, recording I, P, W, I, blank; the 2nd still uses M1, recording I, I, P, I, W. Both times have 5 presentations, recorded by observer B, and the reason for the blank row is unknown.
P3: the 3rd time uses the M2 enlarged two-image card, recording I, I, I, I, W; still 5 presentations. The 3rd time also changes the material, so these three records cannot be used to assert that M2 caused the progress. Total correct includes I+P, independent correct includes only I, and the denominator is fixed at 5 presentations.
P4: paper suggestions only. Teacher B checks the blank row and objective conditions, team member C reviews the material plan and the subsequent comparable records, and communicator D receives the home-school feedback draft. Without review, do not write objective achieved or implemented next time, and whether M2 will be used next time and the observation arrangements are not yet decided.
It can be handled on paper or in a spreadsheet in 30–45 minutes; mark the output v1 and note P1/P2/P3/P4 for each conclusion. If a conclusion cannot be supported, keep it pending and do not fabricate student responses.
Hand over the P1 objective card: behaviour, material, task wording, 10 seconds, prompt definitions, the denominator each time and the 3 consecutive conditions. Hand over the P2 material note: what changed from M1 to M2, how other conditions and records are kept consistent, and the plan for team review.
Hand over the P3 observation-by-observation recalculation: how many I, P, W and missing each time, with the independent and total correct proportions calculated separately; write the boundaries of achievement and causal judgment. Hand over P4 neutral feedback and to-dos: missing items, material changes, recipients and undecided matters, without declaring real educational effects.
1st time I=2, P=1, W=1, missing=1, independent 2/5=40%, total correct 3/5=60%; 2nd time I=3, P=1, W=1, independent 3/5=60%, total correct 4/5=80%; 3rd time I=4, P=0, W=1, independent 4/5=80%, total correct 4/5=80%. Blanks do not count as correct and the denominator is not reduced to 4.
The condition of at least 4 I under the same material in 3 consecutive observations is not yet met: the first two M1 observations had only 2 and 3 I respectively, and the 3rd M2 had 4 I only once. Mastery, diagnosis or improvement caused by M2 cannot be asserted; the material change and the small number of observations limit comparability. The P2 plan can suggest enlarging the presentation and keeping the task and record definitions, and is passed to the team for review rather than being implemented directly.
P4 example: the independent correct results in the records are 2/5, 3/5 and 4/5, the material was changed to M2 on the 3rd occasion, and one row in the first round is missing, so objective achievement cannot be confirmed from this. Ask B to check the reason for the blank and the conditions, C to check the material and subsequent record arrangements, and D to check the feedback scope and receiving permissions; this is currently a draft only and the follow-up is undecided.
All are fictional by the author, and the paper achievement conditions are not a universal teaching standard. Review the objectives, prompts and denominators, the 3 same-material conditions, the missing data and causal limits and the recipients; do not use real student records or provide medical diagnosis, crisis intervention or physical restraint guidance.
Per P1, list the behaviour, the two-image card, the spoken task, 10 seconds, the I/P/W definitions, 5 opportunities each time and at least 4 I under the same conditions for 3 consecutive observations.
Review: others can use the card to distinguish independent from prompted correct responses and do not count correct after help as I.
Explain the P2/P3 M1→M2 enlargement change, propose paper suggestions for maintaining the task and record conditions, and list the items the team must check.
Review: the third 80% is not interpreted as a material effect or as approved implementation.
Count I/P/W/missing row by row, keep the denominator at 5; list 40/60/80% independent and 60/80/80% total correct, and write the non-achievement and non-attribution.
Review: the blank in the first round does not become I and the denominator is not lost, and the consecutive conditions and material changes are traceable.
Per P4, hand over neutral feedback, the missing items and material changes, the receiving responsibilities of B, C and D, the current draft and the undecided follow-up items.
Review: the successor knows what to check, and no diagnosis, effect guarantee or implemented commitment appears.
| Stage | Possible assessment | Observed evidence | Usage boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Objective follow-up | Can write observable conditions | Completely states the P1 task, 10 seconds, prompts and denominator | An editorial question, not a unified employer exam |
| Progress follow-up | Can distinguish independent from assisted | 1st time 2/5 and 3/5, with the blank retained | Real teaching ability cannot be judged from the calculation |
| Material follow-up | Can acknowledge the causal limits | Points out that M1→M2 changed at the same time, without declaring an effect | Paper suggestions await team review and are not implemented |
| Handover follow-up | Can leave the open questions | B checks the missing data, C checks the material records and D checks the feedback | No diagnosis or hiring prediction |
Read P1/P4 and write the objective conditions and the paper tasks you may do, marking the ban on real student data, diagnosis and teaching delivery.
Write the objective card per P1, checking the independent and prompt definitions, the 5 opportunities and the 3 consecutive same-material conditions.
Read P2/P3 and write the material plan, listing the differences between M1 and M2 and the suggestions for maintaining the conditions, marked for team review.
Recalculate I/P/W/blank row by row, keep the denominator at 5, and list the independent and total correct proportions separately, without looking at the answer.
Write the non-achievement and causal limits, and per P4 hand over the B, C and D to-dos, the draft status and the undecided follow-up.
After sealing the first draft, look at the reference answer and use the original records to locate omissions, explain the changes and give the reasons for revision.
Redo the four portfolio pieces and record the effort felt, list the next steps for course internship and qualification questions, without assigning a suitability score or promising effects.
| Qualification / identity | Who it mainly suits | Realistic role in job seeking | Whether it is a universal hiring threshold | Application / registration conditions | Investment level | Important limitations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chinese teaching qualification | For those working specifically in education and teaching at Chinese schools or educational institutions | A teaching qualification is required by law, and the teaching stage and certification conditions are checked | Statutory qualifications and recruitment conditions are checked separately | The certifying authority and current requirements prevail, and the US profile is not transferred in | Check the degree, examination or certification and the practical costs per the specific route | This page does not certify qualifications and does not cover clinical qualifications |
| Special education professional training | For those preparing to carry out special education teaching | Add educational assessment, curriculum adaptation and collaboration ability | Training needs do not equal one nationally universal certificate | Check per the institution's curriculum, internship arrangements and employer requirements | Courses and supervised practice, with no unified duration or price | A completion certificate does not replace a teaching qualification or actual authorization |
| US public school state qualification | For those teaching the corresponding stage in US public schools | BLS describes at least a bachelor's degree and the corresponding state qualification | A public school condition; state rules are checked separately | Check by state and stage; some alternative routes have different conditions | Check the degree, supervised teaching and state certification costs separately | It does not constitute Chinese mutual recognition or imply that all private schools are the same |
| Longyan position conditions | Candidates for that 2026 historical life adaptation teacher position | Master's degree or above, with a bachelor's degree acceptable for the specified normal university background; secondary school or vocational school qualification and Mandarin grade two level B or above | That region's posting conditions only | The specific major scope and recruitment scope follow the original posting | The posting states a minimum service of 6 years and does not disclose the wage amount | Applications have closed, and it is not a national master's degree threshold |
| Wuxi Xinwu position conditions | Candidates for that 2026 historical special education teacher recruitment | 2026 graduates with a bachelor's degree or above; the per-position major conditions are in the attachment | That region's posting conditions only | This page did not verify the attachment's per-position details, which should be traced back to the original table | Fully funded public institution establishment, with a minimum service of 5 years after passing probation | Applications have closed, there is no wage amount, and no national establishment can be inferred |
| Curriculum coordination or clinical transfers | For those considering leaving their current teaching object | Requires the target occupation's training, degree and qualification evidence | Not automatically obtained from a teacher title | Curriculum coordination, assistants and occupational therapy each check the local requirements | The cost of the target path is not verified and no unified budget is given | Teaching experience does not grant diagnosis, treatment or curriculum management qualifications |

View career profileAssistants support the classroom per the teacher's direction; support experience does not automatically grant a teaching qualification, the right to decide educational objectives or clinical authority.
Working specifically in education and teaching at a school or other educational institution requires a teaching qualification; the teaching stage, certification and recruitment conditions are checked separately, and this page does not certify.
BLS describes US public schools as generally requiring at least a bachelor's degree and a state qualification; China checks local qualifications and positions, and no mutual recognition is established.
The 2025 25-2050 family salaried annual median wage, not an elementary independent value, a mean wage, a newcomer's starting salary or a Chinese offer.
Insufficient evidence: this page obtained no independent national value for special education teachers and no three complete pay samples with amounts. For the school education employer direction, reference may be made to the NBS2025 urban non-private education sector figure of 133,539 and the private sector figure of 63,908 yuan pre-tax annual averages, covering multiple occupations and stages among all employed persons in the industry, with different populations in the two sectors, and not a special education wage, an individual range or a staffing-establishment pay figure; medical rehabilitation and social service institutions are checked separately by their main industry.
The Longyan and Wuxi 2026 historical postings show different regional conditions, institutions and service durations, neither has a position wage amount and both have closed, so they are not a current opportunity or a national threshold.
Task drafts may be assisted by tools, while educational needs, teaching and student rights remain the responsibility of the corresponding personnel; insufficient evidence: no adoption rate or net replacement evidence for this occupation was obtained. BLS2025–2035 US 25-2050 family 584,100 to 583,800 people, official net decrease of 300, decline of 0.1%, and annual average openings of 37,100 including replacements; the overall projection is not AI causality or a personal probability and does not mean the same result at every stage.
First independently complete the four P1–P4 portfolio pieces on objectives, materials, recalculation and handover, keeping the denominators, prompts and gaps, then seal them and look at the answers. The results do not replace qualifications, real classroom effects or hiring.
The teacher AI competency framework and the potential task exposure study do not prove adoption in this occupation, teaching effects or layoffs; this page provides no AI replacement rate or personality hiring prediction.
The reading date for this page is 2026-10-01; the NBS, ILO, GPT paper and NIST method reuse original texts verified earlier for this target, and no claim is made that they were researched again this round. The Chinese education totals candidate was not successfully read, and the gap is retained explicitly.
The US overall occupational statistics come from the BLS25-2050 family, and the O*NET elementary profile is an interest example; the Chinese education professional standards, qualification materials, broad wages and the two historical postings are each limited to their corresponding scope.
Limitations：Does not represent the unified 25-2050 family interests or Chinese entry requirements
Limitations：A multi-stage family, not a precise elementary occupation
Limitations：The 25-2050 multi-stage family summary is not elementary-specific: 584100 to 583800, official net decrease of 300, -0.1%, 37100 annual average including replacements; the projection and salaried wage populations differ, and it is not consistent across stages, current hiring, AI causality or a personal probability.
Limitations：Teacher annual wages are not mechanically converted into actual hours or holidays
Limitations：Pre-tax annual averages for all employed persons in the education sector's two unit types, not a special education teacher, stage or staffing-establishment pay figure; medical rehabilitation and social service employers are checked separately, and self-employed individuals and freelancers are excluded.
Limitations：The standards are not a single employer's recruitment or a clinical authorization
Limitations：Does not approve uploading student data and is not an adoption survey for this occupation
Limitations：A different occupation that does not support special education teacher wages or qualifications
Limitations：Support responsibilities do not replace an independent teaching qualification
Limitations：This round's authoritative search read the third item, and the page timed out on opening; the specific certification conditions were not checked item by item
Limitations：Clinical training and qualifications are checked separately and cannot be entered directly from teaching experience
Limitations：Reuses the original texts verified earlier for the same target and contains no adoption rate for this occupation
Limitations：A fictional paper experience, not an employer standard, teaching effect or statutory threshold
Limitations：A voluntary framework, not a qualification or tool approval; reuses material verified for this target
Limitations：Does not equal actual teacher effects or job disappearance; reuses the original text verified for this target
Limitations：The target position's qualifications are checked separately and are not an automatic promotion
Limitations：A historical case; applications closed, no wage amount, not generalized nationally
Limitations：A historical case; the attachment's per-position details were not verified and there is no wage amount
Limitations：The 25th and 75th percentiles were not obtained, and sub-stage five percentiles are not borrowed
Limitations：Only two industries; other industries are a gap, and these are not teacher pay grades
Limitations：A global teacher competency reference, not measured evidence of AI effects in special education
Limitations：Does not imply a unified Chinese class configuration, hours or paid holidays
Limitations：Opening failed this round, so the old values were deleted and the evidence gap is marked in the pathway
Limitations：Must not be passed off as the precise O*NET elementary distribution
Limitations：The education and teaching standards do not grant clinical qualifications; the search succeeded and the original text was verified
Limitations：The method cannot fill the family 25th or 75th percentiles that were not obtained
Limitations：Editorial ratings use the existing occupational responsibilities and AI task analysis on this page. They are not adoption rates, measured effects, job-disappearance or personal-unemployment probabilities, or official scores from Stanford or another external institution. No measured time weights or future robot deployment are assumed.
Chinese names do not establish Chinese-foreign mutual qualification recognition. P1–P4, the four portfolio pieces and the seven-day plan are all editorial fiction, use no real student data and make no medical diagnosis or real teaching arrangement.
