Aspire Living & Learning is currently seeking an enthusiastic Special Education Teacher to join our existing team of highly dedicated and successful professionals.
This program is a state approved Kindergarten through 12th grade special education school for students referred for both academic and social/behavioral needs.

Direct Instruction and Precision Teaching serve as the primary instructional methods. In addition, school-wide behavior support systems are used while critical social and behavior skills are explicitly and directly taught.
