Our teachers play a critical role in establishing the academic foundation and educational climate at our school.  Our schools are small.  Every teacher and every instructional minute matters.  This is an incredibly rewarding and demanding job--one that requires teachers who are fully committed to our students and who are fully invested in doing anything and everything to make education happen there. We are looking for teachers who truly believe all students can succeed, who believe that students who are detained or incarcerated deserve the best education possible and who are relentless and won’t stop working when it gets difficult. We want teachers who are grounded in doing what is right and just, who are self-reflective, aren’t afraid to ask for help, and who are willing and open to trying new and innovative ways to reach students.

For the right person, this is the perfect job.

We are looking specifically for a special education teacher, with a preference for those who can teach at both the middle and high school level. The ideal candidate will be able to serve as a co-teacher in a range of content areas, work one-on-one and in small group settings with students, and possibly teach one or more classes a day in a therapeutic setting for a small number of students with very significant special education needs.   The teacher will also serve as a case manager for a number of students, facilitating IEP goal setting and meetings and spearheading transition planning.
