Cross Country Education
Hawthorne, CA Contractor
POSTED ON 4/21/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/21/2026

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.
