Job Title: Special Education Teacher

Uncommon Schools is a nonprofit network of high-performing, public charter schools providing an outstanding K-12 education in historically under-resourced communities. We have proudly built schools that reflect our student population, with more than 60% of our teachers and staff across our network identifying as a person of color. Uncommon currently manages 53 schools serving more than 20,000 students in five cities: Boston, Camden, New York City, Newark, and Rochester. We are proud that Uncommon graduates persist in and graduate from college at five times the rate of their peers nationally. We achieve this by offering strong academic, co-curricular, and social-emotional learning that prepares students for success in college and beyond.

Job Description

As a Special Education Teacher at Uncommon Schools, you will play a critical role in developing and implementing individualized education plans (IEPs) that cater to the diverse needs of our students. You will work closely with general education teachers, school leaders, and families to ensure that students receive the necessary accommodations and modifications to excel academically and personally.

  • Develop and implement inclusive lesson plans that cater to the diverse needs of students.
  • Collaborate with families and Special Education teams to create 504 and IEP plans that provide appropriate accommodations and modifications.
  • Provide academic, emotional, and physical support to students while maintaining high expectations.
  • Teach pull-out, push-in, small group, and one-on-one instruction to differentiate instruction for all learners in the classroom.
  • Participate in weekly school-wide meetings to cultivate community, model our core values, and encourage student achievement.
Qualifications
  • A commitment to the mission of Uncommon Schools and investment in our vision for being an anti-racist organization.
  • A demonstrated commitment to supporting students' social-emotional and academic development.
  • An enthusiasm for collaborating with internal and external partners in the best interest of students.
  • A self-directed learner who solicits and implements feedback to improve outcomes and achieve objectives.
  • Required Experience: A demonstrated interest in impacting K-12 students in urban schools and communities (1-2 years experience preferred). Academic expertise in Special Education, the Humanities, Social Sciences, STEM, or related fields of study. Prior to the start of employment, you must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. Certification is not required to be hired at Uncommon, but you do need to meet NY state certification eligibility requirements.
