Job Description

Make a meaningful impact in the lives of students by providing specialized support for the upcoming academic year in a welcoming and collaborative school environment. This contract position offers two unique opportunities to work with students in a dedicated special education setting.

One opportunity is within a therapeutic program at the elementary level, working alongside a social worker and receiving significant support from a BCBA. The program embraces trauma-informed practices and aims to provide a smooth transition with some overlap alongside the current teacher before leave begins. The second opportunity is based in a middle school, with details to follow. Both positions offer a chance to engage with students who benefit from compassionate, individualized instruction.

Qualifications:

• Holds a valid Massachusetts Special Education (SPED) license at the appropriate grade level
• Experience with trauma-informed practices, particularly at the elementary level, is highly valued
• Ability to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team, including social workers and behavior analysts
• Strong communication, organization, and adaptive teaching skills
• Demonstrated commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive classroom environment

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide specialized instruction in accordance with students’ Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)
• Work closely with co-teachers, support staff, and administrators to ensure student success
• Contribute to the design and implementation of evidence-based interventions and behavior supports
• Maintain accurate documentation and case management for assigned students
• Participate actively in team meetings, family communications, and ongoing professional development

This role is designed for educators who want to positively influence student growth and well-being in a supportive and resource-rich setting. If you hold the required SPED licensure and are passionate about making a difference, submit your resume and license today to take the next step in your special education career!

Compensation for this position ranges from $35.00 to $55.00. Eligible candidates may also receive healthcare benefits, housing, and meals/incidentals. Full details of our healthcare benefits plan can be found here. This posting is open for 60 days after the posting date.
