What are the responsibilities and job description for the Special Education Teacher position at Cross Country Education?
URGENT: Now Hiring: High School SPED Teacher (Self-Contained Classroom)
We’re actively seeking a passionate Special Education Teacher to support high school students in a structured, self-contained classroom setting for the upcoming school year.
What You’ll Be Doing:
You’ll lead a classroom of approximately 15 students, supported by a team of 4 paraeducators, delivering meaningful, individualized instruction aligned with each student’s IEP.
Students spend part of their day in a self-contained setting for core academics and also have opportunities to participate in general education classes—creating a well-rounded and inclusive learning experience.
Key Responsibilities:
• Teach core academic subjects using adapted curriculum and accommodations
• Implement functional academic and life skills instruction
• Support development of daily living, social, leisure, and pre-vocational skills
• Utilize Unique Learning System (N2Y) curriculum for standards-based instruction and progress tracking
• Collaborate with support staff and service providers
• Maintain IEP compliance and documentation
Schedule:
Monday–Friday | 8:25 AM – 3:15 PM (1 prep period included)
Why Work for Cross Country Education?
• W-2 employment (not 1099) for added stability
• Competitive weekly pay: $53.60 – $58.80/hour
• Access to comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision options)
• Dedicated recruiter support throughout your assignment
• Opportunities to explore different school settings and grow your experience
• Streamlined onboarding and placement process
🌟 Why This Role Stands Out:
• Strong classroom support with 4 paraeducators
• Structured schedule with dedicated planning time
• Meaningful work focused on independence, life skills, and post-secondary readiness
If you’re an educator who is driven to support students with diverse learning needs and help them build independence and real-world skills—we’d love to connect.
