Make a Bigger Impact with Smaller Caseloads – Join Lakes Country Academy as a Special Education Teacher

Location: Fergus Falls, MN 

Looking to teach in a setting where you can truly make a difference — without the overwhelming caseloads and packed schedules? Join Lakes Country Academy (LCA) in beautiful, lake filled, west-central Minnesota and be part of a collaborative, trauma-informed team that prioritizes both student and staff success. LCA is a level IV setting that provides specialized services to students who are referred by their resident school district.

Why You'll Love Working Here:

  • Smaller Class Sizes & Caseloads: Enjoy a smaller staff-to-student ratio, so you can build real connections and give each student the attention they deserve.
  • Shorter Student Days = More Planning Time: With fewer instructional hours, you'll have built-in time during the school day for paperwork, prep, and team collaboration — no more staying late just to catch up.
  • Supportive Team Environment: Work alongside experienced educators, paraprofessionals, behavior specialists (BCBA/RBT), a school psychologist, and a school social worker — all committed to helping each student grow.
  • Holistic Programming: LCA offers an integrated model that blends academics with functional life skills, employability training, and social-emotional learning in a trauma-sensitive, relationship-based setting.
Requirements and Qualifications:
  • Licensed Minnesota Special Education Teachers (Tier 3 or 4) in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)  preferred.
  • Candidates with eligibility for Tier 1 or 2 licenses or Out of Field Permission will also be considered.
  • Ideal applicants will have experience working with K–12 students with behavioral challenges and a passion for collaborative, student-centered instruction.
What We Offer:
  • Competitive salary: $50,824.00 to $81,672.00 based on license and experience
  • Full benefits package: Health, dental, and vision insurance; life and long-term disability insurance
  • Retirement savings: 403(b) and TRA contributions
  • Generous sick leave
  • Strong administrative and behavioral team support
