Elementary Special Education Teacher | Waterford, Michigan

ProCare Therapy

Job Description

Job Description

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Special Education, active Special Education Teacher license and minimum 1+ years Special Education Teacher experience required. Applicants who do not meet these qualifications will not be considered.

Make a meaningful difference in the lives of elementary students as a Special Education Teacher in dedicated ASD or Therapeutic classroom settings. You'll find highly supportive, multidisciplinary teams—including speech, social work, OT, and PT professionals—ensuring strategies and resources are always at your fingertips. Each classroom benefits from the assistance of three caring paraprofessionals, fostering a collaborative atmosphere and personalized attention for every student.

Explore the possibilities in an ASD Program classroom, focusing on creating a nurturing environment for students on the autism spectrum, or join a Therapeutic Program class, supporting elementary students with behavioral and therapeutic needs in a small-group setting. Both roles offer a structured and consistent caseload, with no toileting or lifting responsibilities required.

Key Experience & Certification Criteria:

  • Current Michigan SPED Certification required
  • Familiarity with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) populations preferred for ASD classrooms
  • Background working with therapeutic or behavioral classrooms preferred for therapeutic settings
  • Experience supporting elementary-aged students
  • Strong teamwork skills and willingness to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team

What You’ll Do:

  • Develop and implement individualized education programs (IEPs)
  • Use creative and adaptive strategies to engage students in academic and social learning
  • Partner with paraprofessionals and specialists to maximize support for each child
  • Foster a welcoming, safe, and inclusive classroom environment
  • Track and communicate student progress, adjusting approaches as needed

Enjoy weekly pay, comprehensive health, vision, and dental plans, plus 401(k) participation. This is a full-time, contract opportunity in a school district committed to empowering both its staff and students.

Seize the chance to impact lives daily in a positive, team-focused setting. If you’re ready to bring expertise and heart to your profession, apply today to make a lasting difference!
