Job Description

Embark on a rewarding adventure serving students with special needs in a dynamic educational setting! Multiple opportunities are currently available for fully dedicated Special Education professionals interested in short or mid-term contract roles covering maternity or medical leave. Full-time positions are open, with immediate start dates and potential for assignments extending through the school year.

Available roles include:

  • Elementary (grades K-2): Life Skills caseload, supporting four students and requiring prior life skills classroom experience.
  • Intermediate (grades 3-5): Behavioral caseload for five students (partially self-contained), focusing on positive behavior interventions and instructional adaptations; prior behavioral experience is essential.
  • High School (life skills): If you bring both behavioral and life skills experience, there’s a unique pathway to serve alongside the younger grades and then transition to a secondary caseload (five students) for an extended maternity leave beginning in November. This could extend the assignment to the end of the academic year.

Desired Background:

  • Active Special Education Teacher certification
  • Recent experience working with behavioral supports and/or life skills in a school setting
