Teacher: Sassafras Program

1 month ago

Horsham, Pennsylvania, United States The Quaker School at Horsham Full time

The Quaker School at Horsham (TQS) uses research-based programs provided by compassionate professionals to enable each student with complex challenges to blossom and achieve meaningful personal, social and academic success. Our compassionate community builds trusting relationships among students, parents, therapists, faculty and staff.

The Sassafras Program is based on the premise that students need to build positive relationships, feel positive emotions, and develop a sense of control and purpose to learn. It offers students a predictable structure and a supportive environment, with academic engagement tailored to meet each child's specific needs. The students of the Sassafras program have difficulty regulating externalized behaviors that frequently result in social, emotional and academic dysfunction in a general education setting. The Sassafras Program aims to reduce the overall intensity, frequency and duration of behaviors such as aggression, property destruction, elopement and inappropriate language.

The physical, mental and emotional well-being of faculty and staff are important to us as well. We provide opportunities for fellowship, goodwill, and experiences to create positive morale. We share the many positive achievements of our school community and acknowledge and celebrate the personal and professional milestones within our faculty and staff community.

  • Under the direction of the Sassafras Director, provide direct support for the academic and behavioral needs of students with ASD and other complex challenges.
  • Teach assigned courses within a classroom setting of 6-8 students: developing lesson plans, managing student behavior, supporting students' emotional and academic needs, evaluating student learning profiles and learning needs, and establishing class activities, routines, and procedures to provide for the optimal learning of all students.
  • Employ special education strategies and techniques during instruction to improve the development of language, cognition and memory and instruct students in academic subjects using a variety of techniques, such as project-based learning, multi-sensory learning, differentiated instruction and repetition to reinforce learning and to meet students' varying needs and interests.
  • Establish clear objectives for all lessons, units and projects and communicate those objectives to students and families in our school learning management system.
  • Assess the academic and social growth of students, prepare reports, and keep appropriate records to include attendance, checklists, progress monitoring data, rating forms, and other record-keeping activities as necessary. Use this information to differentiate instruction.
  • Regularly administer subject-specific assessments to assess student competency levels and/or develop individual learning plans and keep complete, accurate and timely records of all assessments.
  • Review behavior plans and other relevant (e.g., instructional) materials developed by the behavior team for the students to facilitate consistent implementation and monitor outcomes appropriately.
  • Collaborate, implement and maintain evidence-based practices and Positive Behavior Support Plans (PBSPs).
  • Implement and facilitate integrated ABA-inspired approaches with attention to positive reinforcement that supports behavior reduction outcomes.
  • Implement behavioral procedures for acquiring replacement skills and reducing problematic behaviors.
  • Maintain a high level of collaboration with the classroom staff and the Behavior Support Team.
  • Daily and weekly family communications, as outlined by school guidelines
  • Provide crisis intervention, as needed, for students including use of Safety-CARE techniques for physical restraint as a last resort.
  • Model compassionate and ethical conduct across all settings.
  • Strong verbal and written communication, time management, organizational skills, and problem-solving required.
