+ Position: Special Education Teacher (LBS1) – Float Role

+ Location: Oak Lawn + Hometown, IL

+ Schedule: 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. | 30-minute break | ASAP–End of School Year

We are seeking a dedicated Special Education Teacher (LBS1) to serve in a unique floating support role. This position is ideal for an educator who values teamwork, flexibility, and making a meaningful impact across multiple classrooms. You will work collaboratively with a team of three paraprofessionals to support 4 Special Education teachers, assist students across general education electives, and help ensure consistent, high-quality instruction throughout the school.

Role Highlights

• Provide daily instructional support across PE, Music, and Art classrooms, helping lower-functioning students succeed in their general education electives.

• Work with three paraprofessionals as your daily support team.

• Offer one hour of classroom relief for SPED teachers and their paras each day for four days per week, enabling valuable weekly planning time.

• On the fifth day, assist the same SPED team with an additional hour of dedicated planning time.

• Serve in a fully supportive float capacity with no set classroom or caseload.

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited university (preferred)

• Valid state teaching certificate per state and district regulations

• Minimum of one year teaching experience (preferred)

• Preferred certifications:

• Standard Elementary Teaching

• Standard Secondary Teaching

• Standard Special Teaching

• LBS1 Endorsement required

• Must meet all federal, state, and local requirements

• Compliance with all professional standards of practice

• Current CPR certification (if applicable)

• TB questionnaire, PPD, or chest X-ray (if applicable)

• Current health certificate if required

• Must be at least 18 years old

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a highly collaborative, team-oriented position offering the opportunity to support multiple educators, influence schoolwide instruction, and make a daily difference for students with unique learning needs. If you thrive in a dynamic environment where flexibility and teamwork are key, this role offers a fulfilling and impactful opportunity.

Qualified candidates with a passion for supporting diverse learners and working across multiple classrooms are encouraged to apply immediately.
