Special Education Teacher in Englewood, CO

Step into a meaningful contract role supporting students in specialized classrooms where your expertise and consistency will truly make a difference. Educational professionals are needed to serve as Special Education Teachers in two Aurora-area schools, with on-site positions available immediately through the end of May 2027. Both assignments offer the opportunity to work alongside strong, experienced teams in settings focused on students with autism, providing invaluable support and guidance to both students and paraprofessional staff.

What You’ll Need:

• Current Colorado Department of Education Teacher License with Special Education Generalist (Ages 5-21) Endorsement
• Experience working with students on the autism spectrum, especially in elementary or K-8 settings
• Skills in co-regulation, behavior support, and willingness to engage in diapering/physical support when necessary
• Ability to mentor and train paraprofessionals interested in professional growth
• BCBA credentials welcome, but not required
• Successful completion of district background check and fingerprinting

Your Role Will Include:

• Taking the lead in either a 1st-5th grade ASD classroom or a primary autism classroom, serving as a consistent, stabilizing presence for students
• Delivering specialized instruction, fostering positive routines, and ensuring a supportive environment tailored to individual student needs
• Collaborating with paraprofessionals and supporting their development, particularly those pursuing alternative licensure
• Assisting with daily physical and behavioral supports
• Partnering closely with school specialists and families for holistic student growth

Why This Position Stands Out:

• Make an immediate, lasting impact by providing stability where it’s urgently needed
• Collaborate within strong school teams and enjoy a welcoming educational community
• Focus your time in one dedicated school rather than rotating assignments
• Opportunity to mentor aspiring educators and shape the next generation of special education professionals

If you’re an adaptive, compassionate educator dedicated to supporting students with autism and mentoring future teachers, this could be your ideal next step. Apply today to help foster learning and stability where it’s needed most!

Compensation for this position ranges from $30.82 to $50.82. Eligible candidates may also receive healthcare benefits, housing, and meals/incidentals. Full details of our healthcare benefits plan can be found here. This posting is open for 60 days after the posting date.
