This education industry opportunity supports students ages 18–22 in a transition-focused classroom designed to prepare young adults for greater independence, employment, and life after high school.

Classroom and caseload
The teacher will work with young adults between the ages of 18 and 22 in a specialized transition classroom. Instruction will focus on individualized goals and practical skills that support students as they move toward postsecondary education, vocational opportunities, community participation, and increased independence. The position requires a collaborative educator who can adapt instruction to varied abilities and help learners make meaningful progress toward their transition plans.
Responsibilities
The selected educator will develop and deliver specialized instruction aligned with student needs, individualized education programs, and transition objectives.

Requirements
