A rewarding contract opportunity is available for an educator with expertise supporting students with visual impairments in a vibrant school cluster near the Baltimore area. This position is school-based, with a hybrid element for virtual IEP meetings, allowing you to balance direct student support and collaborative engagement with teams. The assignment runs from August 31, 2026, to June 17, 2027, and offers both full-time and part-time options—ideal for professionals seeking flexibility while maintaining a consistent impact.

Essential Qualifications:

• Valid Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) teaching certificate with a Vision endorsement
• Experience providing services as a Teacher for the Visually Impaired (TVI)

• Commitment to district background check, fingerprinting, and employment history review (per House Bill 486)
• Ability to support students across multiple age ranges in diverse local school settings
• Ready to provide images of required licenses upon request

Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver vision services outlined in IEPs to students across a manageable group of nearby schools
• Participate virtually in IEP meetings, utilizing on-site resources to minimize travel disruption
• Adapt itinerancy based on skill set—specialists in braille may be assigned fewer, more concentrated sites; those less braille-focused may support a broader, less frequent caseload
• Communicate effectively with a collaborative team, including five existing TVIs and one O&M specialist
• Maintain accurate documentation and support legal compliance for special education services

Perks and Considerations:

• Structured school-year contract with predictable hours (37.5 hours per week, with flexibility to discuss part-time options)
• Supportive onboarding and credentialing process to ensure a smooth start
