This Role Is for Teachers Who Want More If you went into Special Education because you wanted to make a real difference — and somewhere along the way found yourself buried in standardized testing mandates, overcrowded classrooms, and paperwork that had nothing to do with your students — this is worth reading. Arbor Associates is placing a Special Education Teacher at a DESE-approved Chapter 766 therapeutic day school in Framingham, MA, serving adolescents and young adults ages 12–22 who have been referred by their home districts because a traditional public school setting wasn't the right fit for them.

These are students who need a teacher who sees them as individuals — and a school built to support that kind of teaching. Smaller class sizes, an integrated clinical team, and a campus designed specifically for this population mean you can actually do what you were trained to do. This is a placement through Arbor Associates. Whether you're looking for a defined-term contract role or want to explore a longer-term path, we can talk through what makes sense for where you are in your career.
