Head Teacher Position Available For Fall-
We need you! You must have experience as a special education teacher, running all aspects of a classroom for kids with learning differences, meeting goals, and having A TON of communication with parents. If you are not willing to communicate daily, via email, text, and in person in a positive energy, cheerleader, proactive way, then this is not the job for you.
We are looking for a high energy, individual who is excellent with “tricky” kids! Someone who is excellent with teaching READING is a MUST. You are going to teach, reading, reading, reading, in every way! You must be able to teach hands on math, as well as come up with creative, innovative lessons to keep everyone interested, while learning at different levels.
Our school is one of a kind, providing an education for “in-betweener” students who don’t need a special education classroom, but a large public school is too daunting. That’s where we come in. We differentiate instruction, scaffold friendships, and calmly handle those frustrated moments our students have.
If you have a knack for connecting with a kid that is unique, a little tricky, and may challenge the word “no” then we have meaningful, life changing work for you!

Minimum 3 years experience in a Special Ed Classroom
Teaching Credential or a degree in Education/Child Development/Psychology or other BA in related field

Understand when and if Pro Act restraint is needed, very rare: but you must be comfortable.
Understand and comfortable with medications, monitoring and giving.
