JOB SUMMARY:

The Special Education Behavior Teacher designs and leads a structured, supportive classroom program for students with social-emotional and behavioral needs. This role focuses on helping students build the skills necessary for success in academics, relationships, self-regulation, and daily functioning. The teacher creates a safe, predictable learning environment and provides explicit instruction, targeted intervention, and coaching to support student growth and successful participation in general education settings.

This position leads a program that serves students across a continuum of need from those who participate for most of the school day to those who access the classroom for targeted supports such as check‑ins, reteaching, and access to a regulated break space. As students build skills and independence, they are supported in transitioning to less frequent use of the program and sustained success in general education settings.
