Special Ed Teacher - Albion, Illinois

Location: Albion

Step into a dynamic Special Education classroom setting, supporting students' growth for the  school year. This contract opportunity spans from August 12, 2026, to May 21, 2027, and offers meaningful work in a supportive school environment. You'll work approximately 39 hours per week, Monday through Friday, from 7:40 am to 3:20 pm. Enjoy a paid 30-minute lunch and a built-in paid planning period each day, allowing you the time and flexibility to prepare and recharge.

Responsibilities include teaching a blend of core subjects such as math, reading, science, and social studies in a combination of self-contained, push-in, and pull-out settings. The position may be assigned to either 3rd or 8th grade, so adaptability and openness to both grade levels are essential. You'll play a key role in managing diverse student needs, particularly in classrooms with significant behavioral challenges.

To excel in this role, candidates should meet the following qualifications:

• Valid Illinois Professional Educator License (PEL) with LBS1 endorsement (PK-22)
• Comfortable and experienced in managing classroom behavior; experience with behavior disorders is strongly preferred
• Full proficiency in writing and executing IEPs independently-including setting appropriate goals and managing all documentation requirements
• Willingness to work with either 3rd or 8th grade, as final placement will be determined closer to the school year

This role offers competitive hourly compensation ranging from $37 to $55, with some candidates eligible for travel stipends. Discover flexible scheduling within the school day, paid lunches, and dedicated time for planning, contributing to a positive work-life balance.
