Special Education Teacher

About the role

This is a deeply student-facing, relationship-driven role where your impact depends on consistent, individualized support. You’ll connect with students and families daily via phone, text, chat, Zoom, and email to accommodate individual educational needs.

Your success is measured not only by engagement and academic progress, but by meaningful movement toward IEP goals: students who re-engage after setbacks, build confidence through personalized support, make measurable progress, and gain the skills they need to become more independent learners.

Responsibilities

• Build unbreakable daily connections that keep students motivated, seen, and soaring, turning potential drop-offs into breakthroughs through caring, proactive outreach.
• Write, review, and maintain IEPs that accurately reflect each student’s needs, progress, and goals, ensuring all documentation is complete, compliant, and aligned to services and instruction.
• Personalize the educational experience for students using the curriculum to enable them achieve the goals documented in their IEPs.
• Monitor engagement and progress with eagle-eyed attention; spot struggling or disengaged students early and launch timely, personalized interventions and accommodations that reignite momentum.
• Cook up and coordinate with teachers to implement required accommodations and deliver timely grading and powerful, meaningful feedback that reinforces learning, celebrates growth, builds self-efficacy, and equips students to conquer challenges with confidence.
