Special Education Teacher
The Special Education Teacher works as a part of a team to provide a holistic, humanizing, and empowering learning environment for students. The Special Education Teacher delivers high quality academic instruction and provides a clear, consistent leadership for the classroom that ensures that the academic, social, and emotional needs of each student are met within the guidelines of the Individualized Educational Program (IEP) and the Treatment Plan.
Seneca's Non Public Schools are hiring for a Special Education Teacher to guide Kindergarten to 6th grade students to success at Maya Angelou Academy in Oakland, CA. As a Special Education Teacher, you'll meet students' needs through their Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and Treatment Plans. Your skills will help create a supportive environment where strengths are celebrated and individual needs are met with targeted intervention. You will work alongside a team including Therapists, Counselors, and Educational Leaders to transform education in a way that connects students to therapeutic services, community resources, and a personalized curriculum.
Seneca's Maya Angelou Academy is a non-public school that provides special education services to students grades K-5 with a variety of emotional, behavioral and/or social needs. We provide individualized attention and direct instruction in core areas in order to help our students make adequate yearly progress on their Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goals while adhering to a general education standards-based curriculum. The goal of our specialized services is to address the behavioral, emotional and developmental challenges of each student in order to prepare them for a less restrictive educational setting. At the same time we provide a rich learning environment to foster pre-academic thinking and growth.
Seneca Family of Agencies has been nominated among the Bay Area's Top Workplaces for several consecutive years. We're committed to providing traditionally marginalized communities with a network of excellent mental health, community-based, and educational services. We are committed to building a diverse staff. Our programs deeply engage in conversations and training on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to bring equity and justice to the youth and families we serve.
