Part-Time Special Education Teacher (Afternoons, 13 Yr Old Girl, SSN)FEATURED

Part-Time, In-Person, $100/Hour, 1.5 Hours ($150)/Visit

Teachers To Go is looking for a part-time special education teacher to privately teach a nonverbal, technology-dependent 13 year old girl in person at her home in Gleneagle, north of Colorado Springs, CO 80921. This is a wonderful opportunity for the right special education professional: a part-time afternoon position tutoring just one student three days a week for 1.5 hours, anytime between the hours of 12-3pm (or 9am-12pm on Fridays) that pays $100/hour ($150/visit).

Looking for a state-certified special education teacher or general education teacher with a special education endorsement, who has prior experience working with disabled students with special needs or SSN (significant support needs). Prior experience working with nonverbal students is preferred, and an educator with AAC device experience and/or experience working with Proloquo2go is a plus, but not required. The right teacher will be patient, engaging and willing to learn about (and be reactive to) the needs, abilities, and limitations of the student. Looking for a teacher who can come up with adapted learning and communication strategies to homeschool and support an intelligent non-verbal student.

The teacher will provide a homeschool education for a student who is roughly at 5th grade reading level and 4th grade math level, but whose content comprehension is much higher than her abilities. The parents are willing to collaborate with the right teacher about the curriculum and/or methods used, and they are willing to purchase any recommended physical supplies, apps, or programs that the teacher recommends. The student can express herself well through her AAC device but she is medically fragile and very immuno-compromised so the teaching needs to take place at her location. She is also receiving ST, OT, ABA and PT.

State teaching certification and at least 2 years professional experience working with children with special needs is required. BA and prior experience with nonverbal students is strongly preferred. Experience working with AAC device-dependent students is a plus, but not required. The teacher will be responsible for all homeschool filings and assessments. The teacher must also agree to be diligent about sanitization and calling in if not feeling well, since the student is immunocompromised. Looking for an experienced teacher with good communication who is reactive to the student’s abilities and who is willing to collaborate with the parents.

Requirements: State teacher certification (special education or general education with special education endorsement) and minimum of two years professional teaching experience working with children with special needs is required. BA and prior experience working with nonverbal students is preferred. Prior experience working with AAC device-dependent students is a plus, but not required. Must be able to deliver customized private teaching for a 13 year old girl in a homeschool environment, and must agree to be responsible for all required homeschool assessments and filings. Must be able to meet with the student for 1.5 hours each visit, three days a week, between the hours of 12-3pm (or 9am-12pm on Fridays) at the home of the student in Gleneagle, north of Colorado Springs CO 80921. Must be willing to interview via live video chat if requested, and in person in Colorado Springs, CO 80921.
