Step into an impactful contract position supporting students in a well-established therapeutic learning program designed for elementary learners. This unique opportunity is to cover a maternity leave in a co-taught classroom environment, collaborating closely alongside a dedicated social worker and benefiting from robust support through a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Your role centers around delivering specialized instruction to students within a dynamic, deeply supportive setting.
The program prioritizes trauma-informed practices, making it ideal for educators passionate about helping children with diverse learning needs succeed academically and emotionally. There will be a valuable transition period: school leadership is eager for you to overlap with the outgoing Special Education Teacher to ensure continuity of care and instruction.
Key Qualifications:
- Hold valid Special Education teaching licensure for Massachusetts
- Experience working within trauma-informed frameworks at the elementary level preferred
- Prior background collaborating in multidisciplinary teams is a plus
- Strong communicative and interpersonal skills
- Ability to adapt instruction to meet individual student needs
Key Responsibilities:
- Co-plan and deliver engaging, differentiated lessons with a social worker
- Implement behavior and learning strategies under BCBA guidance
- Foster a safe, inclusive, and supportive classroom climate
- Contribute to team meetings, IEP development, and progress monitoring
- Maintain consistent communication with families and staff
School leaders are eager to schedule interviews right away, aiming for an effective handover and a smooth transition for the students.
If you’re dedicated to trauma-sensitive, student-centered teaching and ready to make a tangible difference in a collaborative, resource-rich environment, submit your resume and Massachusetts SPED License to take the next step in your career journey!
