ESY Special Education Teacher – Moderate Disabilities & Tutoring (10)

A strong preference for tutoring positions will be given to candidates who possess certification or experience in phonetic-based reading interventions, such as Wilson or Orton-Gillingham, to support intensive literacy maintenance.
The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and delivering specialized instruction in reading, written expression, and mathematics, provided through both small-group classroom settings and 1:1 or small-group tutoring blocks. Teachers will review student IEPs to ensure all mandated services and accommodations are delivered with fidelity while maintaining accurate data logs for all IEP benchmarks. In addition to direct instruction and tutoring, the teacher will manage classroom logistics, coordinate student transitions during bus/van duties, and maintain consistent communication with parents. The position concludes with the drafting of participation summary reports for each student on the caseload
