Special Education Teacher - Elizabeth, New Jersey
Step into a rewarding role supporting students with diverse learning needs in East Orange, NJ for the 2026–2027 school year. Multiple full-time opportunities await passionate educators driven to create inclusive, impactful classrooms. Openings span grades K–12, specializing in Cognitive Impairments, Emotional Regulation Impairment, Learning Disabilities, Moderate Cognitive Impairment, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (Levels 1–3). Each classroom is designed to foster student success through robust resources and collaborative teamwork.
In this position, you’ll teach in self-contained special education environments alongside experienced paraprofessionals and supportive case managers. District structure enhancements have resulted in smaller class sizes—some Autism classrooms feature ratios as low as 2:1 or 3:1—making individualized instruction possible. You will benefit from an established curriculum, access to seven newly hired Behavior Specialists, and streamlined IEP management using Frontline systems.
Your qualifications:
- Valid New Jersey Special Education certification (TOH or TOSD endorsement plus primary certification)
- Certification matching grade level or subject area assigned
- Background with Autism Spectrum, Emotional Regulation, and/or cross-categorical learning differences is highly valued
- Commitment to inclusive, student-centered teaching
- Effective communication and collaboration skills
You will:
- Teach and support students in small, focused special education classes
- Collaborate with paraprofessionals, case managers, and Behavior Specialists
- Develop and implement IEPs through the Frontline platform
- Employ a variety of instructional techniques to address individual student needs
- Foster a safe, structured, and nurturing classroom culture
The school district offers a supportive leadership team, low student-to-teacher ratios, and thoughtful onboarding for new staff. If you’re seeking a role where your expertise and compassion make a daily difference, we encourage you to take the next step. Interviews are virtual with swift decision-making—connect today to explore these exceptional opportunities for the upcoming school year!
Compensation for this position ranges from $35.00 to $50.00. Eligible candidates may also receive healthcare benefits, housing, and meals/incidentals. Full details of our healthcare benefits plan can be found here. This posting is open for 60 days after the posting date.
