Job Description
Step into a rewarding role supporting young learners with significant communication and developmental needs. This full-time, onsite opportunity is for the 2026-2027 school year, focusing on a K-3 Intensive Communication Program. The classroom setting is highly individualized, with six students, two dedicated paraprofessionals, and an emphasis on fostering growth for children who require structured routines, visual supports, and robust adult guidance due to disabilities such as autism, developmental delays, and intellectual disabilities. Many of the students utilize augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems to access their education.
Your background working with students with moderate to significant disabilities will make a meaningful impact here. The classroom utilizes the Unique Learning System and customized curriculum, emphasizing functional communication, foundational academics, independence, and student engagement.
Candidates best suited for this environment are skilled in:
- Supporting students with complex communication needs, including AAC
- Delivering individualized, highly modified instruction
- Creating and maintaining structured, self-contained learning environments
- Implementing visual supports and structured routines
- Closely collaborating with paraprofessionals and related service providers
- Building individualized routines that foster engagement and independence
Additional requirements:
- Valid Illinois Educator Certification
- Demonstrated experience with students who require intensive supports
- Commitment to fostering a positive, inclusive classroom community
You will enjoy competitive weekly pay, as well as access to health, dental, and vision insurance, plus a 401(k) retirement plan, supporting you beyond the classroom.
If you are passionate about empowering students with unique abilities and want to make a difference in a collaborative, supportive environment, this could be the next chapter in your career. Apply today to help shape the future for students in this impactful program!
Compensation for this position ranges from $25.00 to $45.00. 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.
