A background in managing teachers is preferred, while a passion for ongoing learning is a must. At BehaviorRx, we LOVE studying and discussing how our own aspirations, dreams and energies influence those around us, in life and in the classroom. We love carrying those reflective leadership practices to the classroom and therapy rooms. Come be part of a unique culture which makes time for and rewards personal and professional growth and development!

If hired, you will be responsible for teaching groups of students with mild or moderate disabilities. You will modify existing curriculum on basic subjects (e.g. math, writing) to meet each student’s learning requirements and build individual lesson plans tailored to their specific needs. You will also discuss with parents and support staff about important matters that might impede students’ progress.
Ultimately, you will help and inspire children to achieve important learning milestones!
