We strongly encourage candidates with documented record of special education work in public schools; ability to teach in areas that complement and strengthen our current programs; and a Educational Diagnostician Certification.
We offer competitive salaries and a benefits package including health insurance, retirement benefits, and life insurance. Additional pay is available for summer teaching.
