Remote Special Education Teacher

Can you teach without borders and uplift learners without limits? Our students are waiting—and they deserve someone who sees possibilities where others see barriers. As a Remote Special Education Teacher, you won’t just deliver instruction. You’ll craft individualized learning journeys that open doors, spark confidence, and meet every learner right where they are.

You’ll Make an Impact By

Helping students with unique learning needs thrive in virtual classrooms. You’ll develop personalized strategies that support academic, emotional, and behavioral growth—because every child deserves more than a seat at the table; they deserve a tailored path forward.

Your plans won’t gather dust. They’ll drive outcomes that matter. From facilitating IEP meetings to collaborating with therapists and support staff, your contributions will have a lasting impact across homes and virtual classrooms.

What Success Looks Like

• A third grader with autism completes a reading module solo for the first time. You set that up.
• A student with ADHD begins to engage consistently in lessons crafted with interactive content and a calm structure. You made that possible.
• A parent says, “No one's understood my child like this before.” That’s your impact, loud and clear.

Your Core Responsibilities

• Deliver instruction designed around each student's IEP goals across academic and functional areas.
• Coordinate with general education staff to ensure that virtual instruction is inclusive and accessible.
• Craft IEPs with clarity, precision, and heart—goals that matter and can be measured.
• Run engaging online sessions using screen sharing, breakout rooms, and feedback tools.
• Lead IEP meetings with a focus on growth and partnership.
• Talk to families like people, not policy—giving updates they understand and can act on.
• Track student data and adjust instruction based on real evidence.
• Make sure accommodations are implemented as promised across all learning platforms.

The Tools That Help You Thrive

We rely on a smart, secure remote setup: Zoom, Google Workspace, Kami, ClassDojo, and a cloud-based IEP system. Digital whiteboards. Collaborative drives. You’ll never be asked to wrestle with clunky tech. We want your time to be spent on students, not troubleshooting.

The Environment You Deserve

Though this job is remote, you won’t feel disconnected. You’ll work alongside other certified special educators, behavior specialists, and therapists. We connect weekly to share what’s working, troubleshoot what's not, and celebrate even the smallest breakthroughs.

We move fast, but with intention. You’ll always have time to reflect, plan, and be creative. And when something big comes up—a student crisis, a new challenge—we trust you to take the time you need to meet it with heart and expertise.

What Sets You Apart

• You break big challenges into manageable steps that actually get done.
• You know the law, but more importantly, you understand what it’s like to be the kid the system often overlooks.
• You bring digital learning to life in ways that truly reach students.
• When things get tough—a meltdown, a tech hiccup, a tough family meeting—you lead with calm and purpose.

Must-Haves

• Certified to teach special education (any U.S. state; multi-state preferred)
• Minimum of 2 years supporting diverse learning needs, preferably online or in hybrid settings
• Demonstrated ability to write and implement IEPs, track progress, and document services
• Strong tech skills and confidence with virtual teaching tools
• Willingness to work school-day hours aligned with student schedules

The Story Behind the Role

One student came to us nonverbal, resistant to screens, and discouraged by prior attempts at remote learning. Her teacher took the time to experiment with visuals, games, and puppets. Weeks passed, and then, one day, during a simple morning meeting, the student smiled and signed her name.

That teacher now mentors others. The student? She’s on a path that looks totally different than before. And it started with someone who didn’t give up.
