About the Role
The Hawaii State Department of Education is seeking a Special Education Inclusion Teacher for Grades 9-12.

Your primary mission involves co-teaching strategies, implementing specific modifications and accommodations to support special education students, and diligently monitoring their academic progress.
The Department is committed to ensuring highly qualified teachers are present in every classroom.

About the Team and Culture
You will join a team dedicated to fostering an inclusive educational environment. Success in this position requires the ability to exercise independent professional judgment, maintain an effective work pace under pressure, and grasp new concepts quickly. Collaboration is key; you will work effectively with colleagues to facilitate Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meetings and ensure the success of all students.
