Job Description

Job Description

Step into a rewarding opportunity supporting students in a self-contained special education setting at an elementary school near Theodore, AL. This full-time contract role is ideal for travel professionals ready to make a significant impact—especially since the school hasn’t had a dedicated SPED teacher for three years. You'll work on-site, providing specialized instruction and care to young learners in grades K–5.

What We’re Looking For:

• Current educator certification for Special Education (must present upon interview)
• Experience teaching special education in self-contained classrooms, preferably with elementary students
• Ability to support students with a range of needs, including some toileting assistance
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills for working with fellow SPED teachers and support staff
• Flexibility, empathy, and a strong commitment to inclusive education
• Willingness to work exclusively on-site

Position Details & Responsibilities:

• Serve one elementary school with students in kindergarten through 5th grade
• Share a caseload of 20 students with a second SPED teacher—caseload will be divided to optimize individualized support
• Full-time contract, 35 hours per week, Monday–Friday, 7:45 am – 3:15 pm
• Plan, implement, and adapt instruction to meet Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals
• Provide some hands-on care, including basic toileting assistance
• Document student progress and engage with families and multidisciplinary teams
• Foster a safe, encouraging classroom environment for all learners

This assignment is perfect for travel educators ready to bring their skills to a community in need and contribute to lasting change for elementary students. The principal is available for interviews after 4pm CDT and on weekends, ensuring flexibility for candidates.
