Quad Preparatory School Middle School Science (Earth & Space) Special Education Teacher (Leave Replacement) 2025-2026 School Year   Classification :

  • Exempt  Reports to : Assistant Head of School / Upper School Associate Academic Director Salary : $70,000-$85,000   The Quad Preparatory School is an alternative, non-profit, K-12 college preparatory school dedicated to the education of twice-exceptional students, bright and creative children who learn differently.
  • Quad Prep is a young, fast-growing school founded in 2013 that is a vibrant professional and collegial learning community for employees.   The Quad Preparatory School transforms the lives of twice-exceptional people – those who are gifted and learn differently – by redefining the experience of school.
  • Our personalized model fully integrates social and emotional learning with challenging academics, empowering our students to rise to the level of their extraordinary talents.

Through our innovative programs we are leading a larger movement in service of both twice-exceptional people and society at large.   Our teachers, clinicians, and staff joined together to craft our statement of values, which we are proud to share :

  • Quad Prep is a kind and joyful learning community where everyone is celebrated for who they are.
  • We ignite students’ strengths and passions and allow for safe academic pursuit at the highest levels by learning from mistakes.
  • We are trustworthy and steadfast, and our high academic expectations challenge students to grow uniquely as people and in the way they learn.
  • We widen our students’ perspectives, giving them the tools to know themselves and find success in the future of their choosing.  We never give up on each other and are driven by the ethos of “not if, but how.”   The Quad Preparatory School is looking for a special education science teacher to teach eighth-grade Earth and Space Science.
  • Please note that our eighth-grade curriculum is a high-school level course.
  • Teachers are also responsible for social-emotional and executive functioning skills support as part of the weekly curriculum in collaboration with our clinicians.
  • Our classes typically consist of seven or fewer students.    Teachers have the opportunity to receive mentorship, coaching, and support from the clinicians as well as academic administrators.

  • Create and maintain an orderly and aesthetic learning environment that accounts for students’ social, emotional, and executive functioning needs.  Maintain accurate records using both the school’s learning management system as well as carefully managed portfolios of student work to illustrate and record progress and achievement.
  • Empower students to take charge of their learning by providing all necessary scaffolding, modeling, materials, and resources, and consistently maintaining a high level of expectation for student success.  Collaborate with other academic staff and psychosocial staff members to plan, integrate, and facilitate cross-curricular, inquiry-based projects.  Communicate with parents and guardians to provide feedback on students’ academic and social-emotional progress through parent-teacher conferences, written reports, phone calls, and emails.
  • Follow the professional code and policies of the school and conduct oneself in a way that promotes the mission of the school.  Utilize Google Suite, in particular Google Drive, Docs, and Sheets.  Attend all faculty and staff meetings and required special events ( e.g. , open houses, Curriculum Night, Carnivale).  Perform other duties as assigned.   Competencies :

  • Love of working with and ability to connect with Middle School-aged children Strong knowledge of and affinity for science Desire and ability to work with students with special needs Lesson planning and the ability to provide engaging and differentiated instruction Effective oral and written communication A solid understanding of Middle school-aged children’s academic, social, and emotional development Attention to detail Maintaining confidentiality and privacy Ethical conduct Time management and the ability to multitask Teamwork and collaboration Patience and flexibility    Work Environment :   This job operates in a school setting.
