Job description

What if your next teaching opportunity meant joining a team where students are achieving, teachers support one another, and everyone is expected—and supported—to Aim High?

DC Prep is looking for an exceptional 8th Grade Special Education (SPED) Math Teacher to join our Edgewood Middle Campus team in Washington, DC.

You’ll be joining a math team with demonstrated results.

In the latest 2025–26 DC CAPE results, 34.8% of Edgewood Middle students met or exceeded expectations in Math, compared with 28.2% across DC.

Even more exciting, 42.5% of Edgewood Middle 8th graders met or exceeded expectations in Math.

But the numbers tell only part of the story.

Behind these results is a team of educators who plan, problem-solve, learn from one another, and hold high expectations for every student.

As our next 8th Grade SPED Math Teacher, you’ll join that team and be supported by it. You’ll collaborate with colleagues who share responsibility for student success while providing the individualized support students need to thrive.

That collaboration reflects one of our core DC Prep values: Aim High.

One of our current 8th Grade teachers recently reflected on the experience of working with this team and shared that their success and growth would not have been possible without the colleagues around them.

That is the team our next 8th Grade SPED Math Teacher will join.

You won’t be expected to do this work alone. You’ll join a strong Math and 8th Grade team committed to collaboration, ambitious outcomes, continuous growth, and ensuring that ALL students have access to rigorous, high-quality Math instruction.

Come Aim High with us.

Help us build on strong results—and help our 8th graders show just how much they can achieve.

If you’re a Special Education educator who believes rigorous Math instruction and individualized support can—and should—go hand in hand, we’d love to meet you.

Apply today and join the Edgewood Middle team.
