K-5 Grades 9 - 12 Special Education Teacher | Orland Park, Illinois

Dedicated educators passionate about supporting student growth in mathematics will find this contract opportunity especially rewarding. In this role, you'll work with 9th- and 11th-grade students in Algebra I and Algebra II, providing instruction in both self-contained and co-taught classroom environments. The position encompasses five instructional sections, allowing you to focus on a manageable group of students while collaborating closely with general education teachers. You'll help deliver differentiated instruction, accommodations, and targeted supports to students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), making a meaningful impact every day.

Qualifications and Experience:

• Valid Illinois Learning Behavior Specialist 1 (LBS1) certification
• Demonstrated proficiency in writing and implementing IEPs
• Minimum of two years recent teaching experience
• Familiarity with middle and high school mathematics curricula
• Collaborative approach to instructional planning and co-teaching

Key Responsibilities:

• Facilitate Algebra I and Algebra II instruction across three self-contained and two co-taught sections, maintaining aligned curriculum pacing
• Collaborate with general education teachers to design differentiated lessons and accommodations for students with IEPs
• Develop and write IEPs for an assigned caseload of approximately 15 students, focusing on instructional impact rather than administrative case management
• Track and support student progress, ensuring effective intervention and support strategies are in place
• Engage in regular collaborative planning to support consistency and student achievement across instructional settings

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out:

• Structured instructional schedule with aligned curriculum across classes
• Centralized support for case management, allowing you to focus primarily on teaching, student progress, and IEP development
• Strong emphasis on teamwork with other education professionals to maximize student success

If you are committed to enriching the educational experience of students and thrive in a collaborative, supportive academic environment, you are encouraged to apply today! Take the next step in your teaching journey and make a lasting difference.
