If you hold a California special education credential, this contract role offers a chance to make a meaningful impact at a TK-2 school site near Long Beach, CA. This assignment is ideal for someone who thrives in a supportive environment and wants to contribute to essential special education services.

• Writing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and progress reports
• Participating in IEP meetings and collaboration sessions, as required
• Supporting compliance with state and federal education requirements
• Communicating clearly with students, staff, and families

Preferred qualifications and experience:

• Valid California special education credential (required)
• Experience working in special education, ideally with elementary (TK-2) students
• Strong skills in assessment administration and IEP development
• Ability to work on-site in a collaborative, team-oriented setting
• Flexible availability; open to candidates seeking full-time or part-time hours
• Excellent organizational and communication skills

This is an in-person assignment, expected to run from now through at least the spring—and potentially the remainder of the school year. Whether you’re looking for full-time or part-time work, your expertise is valued and needed.
