Qualifications:

- Proven experience instructing elementary students in special education (resource/push-in models preferred)
- Orton-Gillingham-based program certification or training (SLANT, Wilson, Sonday, etc.) strongly preferred
- Strong communication skills and collaborative approach with general education staff
- Commitment to fostering both academic growth and emotional well-being
Responsibilities:
- Deliver pull-out resource instruction and push-in support within general education classrooms
- Develop and implement IEPs, accommodating both academic and social-emotional needs
- Collaborate with general education teachers, support staff, and families
- Track and report student progress, adjusting interventions as appropriate
- Maintain a supportive, inclusive environment for all learners
Perks:
- Full-time hours, Monday through Friday, in a supportive school community
- Dedicated lunch and regular breaks for a balanced workday
- Opportunity to apply specialized literacy strategies and grow your professional skills
If you’re ready to inspire and support young learners as a resource teacher, take the next step and submit your application today. Your expertise can truly shape the trajectory of these students’ school experiences in a meaningful way!
