General Special Education
Seeking a deeply nurturing, patient, and skilled Special Education Teacher to support our youngest learners in Preschool through Grade 1. In this role, you will lead a flexible program designed for students with a wide variety of developmental, academic, and behavioral needs. This unique role focuses on a fluid, student-centered approach: anchoring children in the General Education setting as much as possible, while providing a highly structured, small-group environment when a substantially separate setting is needed.
Your primary mission will be to create a kind, safe, and predictable environment where children can comfortably build their foundational academic, behavioral, and social-emotional skills.
- Instruction & IEP Implementation: design and deliver specialized, multi-sensory instruction aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, heavily modified to meet individual developmental levels; write, implement, and track progress on IEP goals.
- Classroom Environment: establish a highly structured, predictable, and visually supported classroom routine using tools like visual schedules and token economies.
- Behavioral Support: implement positive behavioral intervention plans and utilize trauma-informed, de-escalation strategies; supervise and coordinate with behavior technicians or BCBAs.
- Collaboration & Team Leadership: direct and collaborate with classroom paraprofessionals to ensure instructional and safety consistency; partner closely with related service providers to integrate therapy goals into daily routines.
- Communication: maintain frequent, supportive, and transparent communication with families, providing daily or weekly updates on student progress, behavior, and milestones.
- Valid Massachusetts DESE license in Severe Disabilities (All Levels) or Teacher of Students with Moderate Disabilities (PreK–8).
- Citizenship, residency, or work visa required.
