Who We Are

Knowledge Road is a special education staffing company that partners with schools to place strong, reliable educators — and actually supports them once they’re placed. Our goal is straightforward: help students with IEPs access grade-level learning and make real progress, with a team culture that respects teachers.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a NYS-certified Special Education Teacher for a High School Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) assignment supporting 11th and 12th grade students at a school in downtown Manhattan. This is a push-in / inclusion role across multiple classrooms, working in close partnership with general education teachers across core subjects.

You’ll support instruction in ELA, Math, History, and Science, helping students with IEPs succeed in rigorous, credit-bearing coursework.

What You’ll Do

• Co-teach and co-plan with general education teachers using the ICT model

• Push in to multiple classrooms to provide accommodations, scaffolds, and targeted support

• Work 1:1 and in small groups to reinforce skills, improve access, and build independence

• Implement IEPs with fidelity: accommodations, modifications, goal support, and progress tracking

• Help adjust assignments, assessments, and materials to meet diverse learning needs

• Communicate clearly with school staff and families as needed (professional, consistent, calm)

What We’re Looking For

• NYS certification required: Students with Disabilities (Grades 7–12)

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Special Education

• Experience in ICT / inclusion / collaborative teaching strongly preferred

• Strong IEP knowledge (instructional + compliance)

• Organized, flexible, and able to manage a schedule across multiple classrooms

• Team-first mindset — you collaborate well and don’t do the lone-wolf thing

What You Get

• $55/hour + consistent bi-weekly pay

• W-2 or 1099 flexibility depending on your preference

• Long-term stability: renewable assignment year after year

• Ongoing support from Knowledge Road (real humans, not a ghosted inbox)

• Access to professional development + educator resources

• Predictable school-day schedule
