Position Summary We are looking for a Certified Special Education Teacher (Virtual; Remote) for the 2025-2026 School Year. In this role, you will deliver personalized and engaging instruction and support to special education students. This position is eligible for an annual bonus based on performance. We are specifically looking for a Special Education Teacher who is open to both instruction and case management. The vast majority of your time will be spent contacting students and parents directly to provide one-on-one support. You’ll make these connections every day using chat, email, text messages, and telephone calls. If you don’t like the idea of proactively reaching out to students and families every day, this isn’t the right position. About a quarter of your time will be spent providing personalized feedback to students via grading assignments and recording personalized video feedback. A small portion of your time might be spent supplementing our system curriculum by developing and/or delivering quality live and recorded lessons as determined in collaboration with your supervisor. You’ll leverage your knowledge of your subject matter, your skills as an educator, and your mastery of Google Apps for Education, learning management systems, and modern communication tools to drive personalized learning experiences that yield strong academic results. Your innovation will maximize student engagement and knowledge acquisition yet you’ll frequently forgo technology to provide instruction and support to students and parents using telephone calls from someone that cares.
