We are looking for an Assistant Teacher to join our collaborative special education team serving students in kindergarten through fourth grade. Our students may have autism, ADHD, histories of trauma, or a combination of needs. They are also creative, funny, curious children with individual strengths, interests, and ways of experiencing the world. The Assistant Teacher helps create a predictable, engaging environment where each student can learn.
Experience working with children with disabilities, behavioral needs, or trauma histories is helpful, but a willingness to learn and a strong commitment to children are equally important. Training and support will be provided. This is an opportunity to become part of a skilled, supportive team and to make a meaningful difference in children’s daily experiences at school.
