Make a difference in the life of a child with Autism

**Illinois Professional Educator License in Physical Education or Physical Education Endorsement** **required.**

Soaring Eagle Academy, a not for profit, ISBE approved therapeutic day school in Lombard, IL serving students ages 5 through 22 years old, faced with the challenges of Autism, is seeking a full time **P.E. TEACHER to serve kindergarten through transition (18-22 year old) classrooms **to join our growing staff and student body teaching in person 5 full days.

The Academy was founded by three Speech Language Pathologists, with an accumulation of over 80 years experience serving children and families with Autism and other related disorders, and a passion to showcase the amazing capacities of students with Autism to interact, communicate, think and learn. SEA is the only school in the world to utilize a Developmental Language approach implementing principles of the DIR® Floor Time model, to understanding and supporting students' social, emotional and academic development. This is a unique opportunity to do cutting edge work with dedicated support staff including SLP, OT, Mental Health, fellow teachers and 1:1 teacher assistants assigned to each student, who understand and support developmental language, sensory motor processing strategies, emotional development, and how they impact children with autism. We believe that the "behaviors" others see as impacting education for these students are a result of their lack of comprehension, inability to communicate, challenges in processing sensory information from their environment and staying regulated around a broad range of emotions.

QUALIFICATIONS:

- Experience in an elementary and/or secondary school environment where developmental thinking was utilized with a strong capacity to engage students and adapt your teaching/curriculum to students of varied ages, learning styles and developmental levels.

- As a PE Teacher, you will utilize your knowledge, experience, and training to engage your students and spark their passion for learning and movement. Most of your time is spent planning, preparing, and teaching from your lesson plans. During your planning, you consider the individual needs of each student and adapt teaching strategies suited to their educational and physical needs. As you effectively manage the classroom, you work to establish a safe and secure learning environment for your students._
- Provide direct physical education instruction to students K-22 with autism and/or other disorders of relating and communicating, according to ISBE requirements and DIR® and developmental language model methodology practices, in a variety of settings including full classroom, groups or individual session.
- Support development of health and well-being through physical activity with emphasis on supporting students to be able to acquire movement and motor skills working as individuals and as members of teams, to promote social and emotional development.
