Education jobs in Philadelphia, PA

About the role

We are always open to meeting skilled, student-centered educators who may be a strong fit for future Special Education Teacher opportunities. Philadelphia’s education community is a small world, and we value building relationships with excellent teachers, even when we do not have an immediate opening. This evergreen talent-pipeline posting may not represent a current vacancy. Applications will be reviewed as staffing needs arise, and our Talent Team may contact candidates whose experience aligns with an available opportunity. Special Education roles at PHP vary based on student needs. Teachers may provide push-in or pull-out services or lead a classroom serving students with moderate support needs. Across settings, Special Education Teachers deliver highly individualized instruction, implement IEPs, monitor student progress, and collaborate closely with families, general education teachers, service providers, and school leaders. Teachers who lead classrooms for students with moderate support needs are also responsible for leading and supporting paraprofessionals, establishing clear roles and routines, providing ongoing guidance and feedback, and ensuring that instructional, behavioral, and individualized supports are implemented consistently.
