Description

This Role Is for Teachers Who Want More If you went into Special Education because you wanted to make a real difference — and somewhere along the way found yourself buried in standardized testing mandates, overcrowded classrooms, and paperwork that had nothing to do with your students — this is worth reading. Arbor Associates is placing a Special Education Teacher at a DESE-approved Chapter 766 therapeutic day school in Framingham, MA, serving adolescents and young adults ages 12–22 who have been referred by their home districts because a traditional public school setting wasn't the right fit for them. These are students who need a teacher who sees them as individuals — and a school built to support that kind of teaching. Smaller class sizes, an integrated clinical team, and a campus designed specifically for this population mean you can actually do what you were trained to do. This is a placement through Arbor Associates. Whether you're looking for a defined-term contract role or want to explore a longer-term path, we can talk through what makes sense for where you are in your career.

What You'll Do

• Deliver individualized special education instruction across core academic subjects to students ages 12–22 with emotional, behavioral, and learning challenges
• Develop and implement IEPs in collaboration with the school's clinical, residential, and administrative teams
• Adapt curriculum and instructional strategies to meet the diverse learning profiles and therapeutic needs of your students
• Participate in team meetings, clinical consultations, and transition planning with district liaisons and family members
• Maintain accurate IEP documentation, progress notes, and compliance records in accordance with DESE Chapter 766 requirements
• Contribute to a structured, therapeutic classroom environment that prioritizes both academic growth and social-emotional development

• $28–$30/hr — competitive rate paid weekly through Arbor Associates
• Smaller class sizes — you'll know your students, not manage a crowd
• Integrated clinical and residential support — you are not the only person in this student's corner
• School-year calendar — summers off, consistent schedule, no rotating shifts
• DESE-approved Chapter 766 setting — structured, compliant, and built for this population
• Placed through Arbor Associates — dedicated support from day one through placement close
