Schedule: Monday–Friday | School day (typically 7.5–8 hours) | ~180–190 contract days
Caseload / Class Size: 6–12 students (aligned with Georgia DOE maximums for self-contained settings; lower for higher-intensity needs)
Position Overview
- We are seeking a dedicated Special Education Teacher to lead a self-contained or adapted (modified curriculum) classroom serving K-8 students with moderate to intensive support needs (e.g., intellectual disabilities, autism, emotional/behavioral disorders, multiple disabilities, or significant developmental delays).
- This is a true classroom-based role focused on delivering specially designed instruction in a structured environment. You will case-manage your students’ IEPs, provide direct instruction across academic and functional domains, and collaborate closely with related service providers (including school psychologists, SLPs, OTs, BCBAs), paraprofessionals, and families.
Caseload & Hours Details
- Caseload size: Typically 6–12 students. Georgia maximums for self-contained classrooms vary by disability category (e.g., ~6–7 for severe/profound intellectual disability or deaf-blind; ~8–11 for emotional/behavioral disorders or moderate intellectual disability; up to ~12–16 for specific learning disabilities with support). Actual numbers are kept manageable and are supported by paraprofessional staffing.
- Daily hours: Full school day (approximately 7.5–8 hours), Monday–Friday. Includes instructional time, planning, IEP work, collaboration, and duties as assigned. Duty-free lunch is provided.
- Contract year: Standard teacher calendar (~180–190 days), with professional development and planning days included. Additional extended days may be available or required for IEP timelines.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and deliver differentiated, IEP-aligned instruction in academic, social-emotional, behavioral, and adaptive/functional skills.
- Develop, implement, monitor, and revise Individualized Education Programs (IEPs); serve as case manager for assigned students.
- Implement positive behavior supports, behavior intervention plans, and de-escalation strategies.
- Collect progress-monitoring data and complete required documentation and compliance tasks.
- Supervise and direct paraprofessionals assigned to the classroom.
- Collaborate with general education teachers (for any inclusion opportunities), related service providers, administrators, and families.
- Maintain a safe, structured, and supportive classroom environment.
- Participate in IEP meetings, multidisciplinary teams, and parent conferences.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Special Education or related field (Master’s preferred).
- Valid Georgia teaching certificate in Special Education (or eligibility to obtain). Endorsement or experience with the specific disability categories served is a plus.
- Experience in a self-contained, adapted, or intensive-support classroom preferred.
- Strong skills in IEP development, behavior management, data collection, and collaboration.
- Ability to implement accommodations/modifications and support students with significant needs (including possible assistance with personal care or mobility, as appropriate).
- Commitment to equity, inclusion, and student growth.
