## Description

At Rocketship Public Schools, we believe in the infinite possibility of human potential. We believe that every student deserves the right to dream, to discover, and to develop their unique potential and it is our responsibility and our privilege to unleash the potential inside every Rocketeer we serve.

Rocketship Special Education Teachers, known as Education Specialists, play a critical role in ensuring every student has access to an excellent education and a joyful, inclusive school experience. Specialists serve students with significant support needs, including those with intellectual disabilities, autism, multiple disabilities, and communication or behavioral challenges.

Education Specialists collaborate closely with general educators, paraprofessionals, and families to provide accommodations, modifications, and targeted supports that help students build independence, confidence, and academic growth. To ensure students and families receive highly individualized support, Education Specialists maintain a capped caseload of no more than 18 students.

The essential functions of this position include:

- Instruction & Inclusion: Ensure that all students work toward and achieve the rigorous academic goals outlined in their IEPs, provide individualized and small-group instruction, co-teach with general education teachers, and partner with paraprofessionals.

- Case Management & Compliance: Own and manage an IEP caseload, draft and write professional, compliant IEPs, and collaborate with psychologists and related service providers.

- Behavior & Family Partnership: Approach behavior with the mindset that all behaviors communicate a need, and partner with students, families, and school staff to develop responsive supports.

Our ideal candidate is growth-oriented, experienced in supporting diverse learners, collaborative, and equity-driven, with a background or understanding of basic Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles.

The salary range for this position is USD 54,048-86,260 per-year-salary.
