Edmonds Cofield Preparatory Academy for Young Men seeks a creative, mission‑aligned Middle School Specials / Enrichment & Innovation Teacher to help build a dynamic enrichment program for grades 5–7. As Connecticut’s first all‑boys public charter school, ECPA is still in its founding years, with a small but growing community of young men and a staff committed to building strong routines, meaningful relationships, and a school culture designed specifically for boys.
