Becoming a Model School District
The Madison Metropolitan School District has a simple but bold vision - that every school will be a thriving school that prepares every student to graduate from high school ready for college, career and community. We know that vision doesn't come to life without the very best leaders throughout our district. Our strategy is captured in our strategic framework, and centers on three major goals: that all children achieve academically, that our schools are places where children and adults thrive, and that our Black youth excel at school. We have made major gains and are more resolved than ever to build on our progress.
We know this vision doesn't come to life without dynamic leaders in every school. For more information on our teacher screening and selection process, please visit our TEACH Madison webpage.
About Our District

Essential Duties

• Instructing students individually and in groups, using various teaching methods such as lectures, discussions, and demonstrations
• Adapting teaching methods and instructional materials to meet students' varying needs and interests
• Establishing clear objectives for all lessons, units, and projects and communicate those objectives to students
• Establishing rules for behavior and procedures for maintaining order among the students for whom they are responsible

Qualifications:
Licensing
NEED: Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) teaching license in Cross-Categorical Special Education or any other high-incidence special education area (CD/LD/EBD/etc).

• MMSD prefers that your Wisconsin teaching license be active, or issued prior to the start of your contract. However, you are eligible for consideration prior to your license being issued.

We may consider candidates who hold the minimum of a Bachelor's degree, if the candidate is willing to pursue the full certification and license required for the position. The district does not provide financial support for the continued education that is required to achieve the certification. The district does not select or endorse any particular certification program that leads to the required Wisconsin teaching license. A candidate must be hired by a school district in order to apply for a One-Year License with Stipulations with DPI.
MMSD must first consider applicants who are fully licensed to teach cross categorical special education before considering applicants who are not yet licensed.

Summary:Supervised by an Assistant Director of Student Services and collaboratively guided by a program support teacher and related services staff, a Cross Categorical Teacher will perform highly specialized work with students who receive special education services through Intensive Intervention Programming. The location of this specialized work is fluid based on student needs and can vary daily between school-based sites, community-based sites, and the Holtzman Learning Center. Cross Categorical Teachers may be assigned to support students in elementary, middle and high school. Hours of employment are 8am-4pm daily Monday through Friday, following the MMSD annual calendar. The goal of Intensive Intervention Programming is to support and empower our students to identify strengths and achieve personal goals while developing the behavioral and social-emotional skills necessary to successfully access academic and enrichment learning opportunities alongside their peers.
Intensive Intervention Programming Beliefs and Values:

• All students have the ability and right to access and develop academic, social, emotional, and behavioral skills for emotional management, relationship building, and decision-making.
• Identifying and building on each student's strengths will result in students developing the confidence and skills to grow as a unique individual and learner to achieve their goals and fulfill their dreams.
• Our programs support students in developing and implementing self-advocacy skills to promote the autonomy to create goals for themselves and to engage in self-discovery to build a strengthened identity across various environments.
• Collaboration among all significant individuals in a student's life is essential to each student's success.
• The environment we create provides fun, safe, supportive, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed programs.
