About the Role

The Special Education Teacher is a state-certified educator responsible for delivering specific course content in an online environment. This role focuses on managing the learning process and addressing the individual needs of students as defined by their Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). You will work actively with students, parents, and learning coaches to advance each student's learning journey.

In this position, you will ensure all special education and related services are provided as determined by the IEP team. This involves communicating with parents and related service staff to ensure appropriate therapies, developing compliant IEPs and progress reports, and facilitating collaborative meetings. You will modify Stride K12 lessons and assessments as specified by the IEP, ensure the inclusion and success of students in general education classrooms, and provide rich synchronous and asynchronous learning experiences.

A key aspect of this role is establishing and maintaining positive rapport with families. You will regularly communicate with and respond to students and learning coaches, supporting them with curricular and instructional issues in a virtual classroom environment. You will also analyze student data to prescribe remediation and enrichment, prepare students for high-stakes standardized tests, and maintain accurate grade books to ensure academic integrity.
