Start the school year on September 3, 2026, and enjoy a consistent, full-time schedule of 32.5 hours per week through June 23, 2027. These contract roles offer the chance to work in classrooms with small student-to-teacher ratios (as low as 2:1 and 3:1 in autism programs) and collaborate with a team focused on educational excellence.

• Valid New Jersey Special Education certification (TOH or TOSD endorsement, plus appropriate primary certification)
• Certification aligned to the specific grade level or content area you’ll be teaching
• Commitment to nurturing an inclusive, positive environment for all learners
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative spirit

What You'll Do:

• Design and implement specialized instruction for students in grades K–10, dependent on classroom assignment
• Collaborate closely with paraprofessionals, behavior specialists, and case managers
• Participate in IEP development and management utilizing the Frontline system
• Foster an engaging, structured classroom culture that supports individual student growth

Why You'll Love This Role:

• Work in a district with new leadership focused on school improvement
• Smaller classes and enhanced student support
• Access to curriculum resources, classroom supports, and a committed team of behavior specialists
• Streamlined interview process with quick decisions so you can plan for your next school year with confidence
