26-27] Atlanta, GA EC Adaptive Teacher (Certified

Movement Schools is a growing network of free, public charter schools. We exist to love and value scholars and communities by leading a movement of excellence in education. In partnership with our families, we equip our scholars with the tools to close generational gaps through self-efficacy, access to world-class instruction, and financial education.

At Movement Schools, we believe every scholar — including scholars with significant cognitive disabilities — deserves rigorous, joyful, and dignifying instruction. We are seeking a passionate, mission-aligned K-5 Adapted Curriculum Teacher to join our Georgia school community and serve scholars whose learning needs are supported through the Georgia Alternate Assessment (GAA 2.0) track.

As a K-5 Adapted Curriculum Teacher, you will design and lead specialized instruction aligned to the Georgia Standards of Excellence Extended Content Standards — building scholar communication, functional academic, and life skills through evidence-based, individualized approaches. You’ll partner with families, classroom teachers, related-service providers, and paraprofessionals to ensure every scholar in your care grows in ways that are meaningful, measurable, and rooted in dignity.

When not in session with scholars, you will support school-wide operations to keep our campus running smoothly.

You’ll lead instruction that honors every scholar’s potential — and delivers meaningful, measurable growth.

• Serve as IEP case manager for assigned scholars: schedule and lead IEP meetings, coordinate with families and outside providers, and ensure all documentation meets IDEA and GaDOE requirements
• Administer the Georgia Alternate Assessment (GAA 2.0) with fidelity and prepare scholar portfolios or performance tasks as required
• Collect and analyze scholar data to make instructional decisions and demonstrate progress toward IEP goals
• Supervise, coach, and support the paraprofessionals assigned to your classroom to ensure consistent implementation of instruction, behavior supports, and safety protocols
• Design and implement positive behavior supports and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) in partnership with the Exceptional Children team and families
• Partner with related-service providers (speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, adapted PE, etc.) to integrate services and reinforce goals across the school day
• Manage sensory, communication, and physical accommodations — including AAC devices, adaptive seating, feeding protocols, and toileting supports — with dignity and care
• Build strong, trust-based relationships with families rooted in respect for their expertise as their scholar’s first teacher
• Uphold and reinforce Movement Schools’ culture of high expectations, urgency, and joy
• Participate in coaching cycles, professional development, and grade-level planning
• Support school-wide operations during non-instructional blocks — including arrival and dismissal duties, family engagement events, and other operational needs as assigned
