EASTCONN

EASTCONN is excited to announce an opening in our specialized Clinical, Developmental, and Therapeutic (CDT) program. This program is located in the Windham area and serves students in grades K-12 who require specialized education and a more restrictive environment, having been outplaced from their sending districts in Northeastern Connecticut. The EASTCONN CDT program provides learners with a highly structured, supportive, and therapeutic setting designed to foster academic, behavioral, and social-emotional success.

Position Overview: We are seeking a dedicated and passionate full-time Special Education Teacher to join our team. The ideal candidate will be committed to providing a supportive, structured, and therapeutic learning environment for students with social, emotional, and behavioral needs.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Potential for a one-time hire bonus
  • Ongoing professional learning
Requirements:
  • CT Special Education Teacher certification (#165)
  • Experience working with students with social, emotional and behavioral needs
  • The ability to utilize physical management techniques to ensure safety, following training.
Emergency Educator Certification Endorsements
On Wednesday, December 1, the Connecticut State Board of Education adopted the following temporary emergency endorsements, effective for the 2021-22 school year:
  • Emergency Generalist, PK-8 (#201)
  • Emergency Generalist, 7-12 (#202)
  • Emergency Teacher of English Language Learners, PK-12 (#204)
  • Emergency PK Authorization for Comprehensive Special Education, K-12 (#205).

These endorsements may be issued to any educator who currently holds an appropriate Initial, Provisional, or Professional Educator Certificate, including interim certificates, upon a mutually agreed submission of the request by the LEA/District. Please see the attached Certification Alert for additional information. Requesting LEA/District personnel may access the ED 2020 form under the Bureau's District Resources page here:

At EASTCONN, we believe that diversity is key to our success. We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply, including those who may not meet every listed qualification. Your passion, drive, and perspective are what matter most to us.
