Step into a dynamic role as an Elementary Special Education Teacher working with a dedicated team to support students in a self-contained K-5 setting. Located in the vibrant South Burlington area, this contract opportunity offers you the chance to truly make an impact during a vital leave of absence assignment from October to December.

You'll work directly with a small classroom—just five students, each with autism and significant behavioral needs.

• Valid Special Education Teaching certification (or eligibility)
• Experience in K-5 special education settings, preferably with students diagnosed with autism and those presenting significant behaviors
• Proven ability to collaborate with paraprofessionals, therapists, and specialists
• Strong classroom and behavior management skills
• Commitment to cultivating a supportive, structured, and nurturing atmosphere

Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing and implementing lesson plans tailored to IEP goals and learning needs
• Collaborating with paraprofessionals to ensure continuity of support, accommodations, and behavioral strategies
• Monitoring student progress and documenting growth toward goals
• Communicating proactively with families and support staff
• Applying evidence-based interventions to promote academic and social-emotional success

As a valued professional in this assignment, you'll be compensated with highly competitive weekly pay between $85 and $90 for travel. Additionally, you'll experience the reward of working closely with a strong support team, contributing meaningfully to the lives of children and their families.
