East Side Community School is seeking a strong Special Education teacher.
Ideally, we are looking for a teacher who is flexible, knowledgeable, and open to teaching in a variety of content areas in a 6-12th grade ICT setting. Candidates should embrace working closely with colleagues, co-planning lessons, and being the “expert” in the co-teaching partnerships in terms of what students with IEPs need, depending on their learning struggles, in order to be successful. The candidate should have experience with the entire IEP writing process on SESIS, holding IEP meetings, and contributing to making the IEP a living document that all teachers can use as a resource / tool in their teaching. In some cases, the Special Education teacher will teach an enrichment class of their own, targeting specific skills in math, reading, or writing.
ABOUT EAST SIDE: We are a small 6-12th-grade college preparatory school dedicated to the belief that all students can, must and will learn and succeed academically. We set high standards for each of our students and help them meet these standards by providing personal attention, a strong sense of community, high-quality instruction and engaging and innovative learning experiences inside and outside of the classroom. Students, staff, families and community members see themselves as part of a team whose main goal is the success of every individual student in our diverse learning community. We have a schoolwide commitment to promoting social justice and combating racism, sexism, homophobia, classism and any other form of discrimination. The goal of the school is to create a community of highly skilled students, lifetime learners, critical thinkers and socially responsible citizens who, upon graduation, will be prepared to succeed in college and beyond.
