Step into a meaningful role supporting elementary-aged students by bringing your expertise as a Special Education Teacher to a dedicated team. This contract opportunity is based on-site in a vibrant school environment, serving a self-contained classroom for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. You’ll collaborate closely with another special education professional to ensure individualized learning and behavioral support, with a focus on building a nurturing, structured atmosphere for all students.

Key Qualifications:

• Proven ability to develop and implement Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)
• Comfort or experience with basic assisted toileting for students
• Strong communication, organizational, and collaboration skills
• Adaptability and resilience, especially supporting a school that has not had a dedicated SPED teacher for three years
• Flexibility to adapt strategies and instruction for diverse learner needs

What You’ll Do:

• Provide tailored instruction to a caseload of approximately 10 K–5 students (caseload split with another SPED teacher)
• Develop and monitor IEPs, collect data, and communicate progress with families and support staff
• Create a safe, engaging classroom with clear routines and behavioral supports
• Participate in team meetings, collaborating with the general education staff and school leadership
• Manage daily classroom responsibilities, including some toileting assistance as needed
• Support students’ academic, social-emotional, and behavioral growth

This position is ideal for a travel-ready special education teacher seeking a dynamic, supportive challenge. Workdays run from 7:45 am – 3:15 pm, totaling 35 hours per week, with the assignment scheduled through late May 2027.
