Special Education Instructional Coach, Unbound Academy; Remote

REQUIRED:

Active Arizona Special Education Teaching Certificate and Arizona Residency.

What if your expertise in Special Education could transcend compliance work—and help you reimagine what school can be?

Unbound Academy has reconstructed education from the foundation up. We are the first virtual, tuition‑free charter school where students achieve academic mastery in just two hours daily through adaptive AI—leaving their afternoons open for immersive, real‑world learning experiences. Our Guides don't stand at the front of a classroom lecturing. They mentor, motivate, and facilitate hands‑on workshops covering storytelling, entrepreneurship, design, wellness, and more.

We now seek a Special Education professional capable of both: guiding students toward life readiness and managing our IEP program with exactness.

This position is designed for the SPED teacher who has done it all. You've run your own classroom—but you've also been the one drafting, revising, and coordinating IEPs in the background. You understand what's required to maintain compliance while keeping students at the heart of everything. You're Arizona‑based and fully certified. Above all, you're motivated by the prospect of doing purposeful work—not administrative busywork—in a school that genuinely prepares young people for the real world.

If you're prepared to leave behind the bureaucracy and approach SPED in a new way, this is your opportunity to create something exceptional.

• Drafting, revising, and overseeing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) in complete accordance with Arizona state standards
• Managing accommodations and compliance requirements within a dynamic virtual learning model
• Facilitating high‑energy, real‑world virtual workshops on subjects such as entrepreneurship, storytelling, or wellness
• Providing one‑on‑one and small‑group coaching to SPED students to strengthen confidence, executive functioning, and self‑direction
• Working alongside our school team to refine how we support and empower exceptional learners

• Providing traditional academic instruction—our AI tutors manage that
• Operating in isolation from students—you'll be directly involved with learners
• Devoting your time to redundant paperwork, meetings, or micromanagement
• Adhering to a one‑size‑fits‑all instructional model—this is personalized, adaptive education

Oversee the creation, implementation, and compliance of all IEPs while involving students in transformative, life‑skill‑focused virtual experiences.

• Reside in Arizona
• Hold a valid Arizona Special Education teaching certification
• Minimum 3 years of experience writing and updating IEPs
• Experience coordinating accommodations and handling SPED compliance tasks
• Prior experience working with students aged 8–14
• Strong virtual presence and communication skills; on‑camera confidence is essential
• Thrive in a fast‑paced, tech‑powered school environment
