Full Job Description

Job Summary

The Mandala School is seeking a passionate, dedicated, and nurturing Primary 1 Teacher to support young neurodivergent learners in a small, structured, and inclusive classroom environment.

Our Primary 1 classroom serves early elementary students ages 5-7 years old, who benefit from small individualized instruction (10 students to 1 teacher & assistant ratio), sensory-aware support, predictable routines, and compassionate teaching. In this role, the teacher will create and implement engaging lessons that support each student’s academic, social-emotional, behavioral, communication, and functional growth.

The ideal candidate is someone who is patient, flexible, creative, and confident working with students with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, communication needs, and diverse learning profiles. This position requires a strong ability to differentiate instruction, support regulation, collaborate with classroom assistants and related service providers, and create a classroom culture where students feel safe, supported, and successful.

At The Mandala School, we believe every child deserves to be seen, understood, and given the tools they need to grow in confidence, independence, and connection. This is a meaningful opportunity for an educator who feels called to make a lasting impact in the lives of children and families.

Responsibilities

Design and deliver individualized lesson plans aligned with each student’s PEP (Perspective Education Plan) to promote academic achievement across subjects such as literacy, math, and life skills
Implement evidence-based behavioral management strategies and behavioral therapy techniques to support positive behavior and social-emotional development
Collaborate with speech therapists, occupational therapists, counselors, and other specialists to coordinate comprehensive support for students
Conduct assessments, standardized testing, and progress monitoring to evaluate student growth and adjust instructional approaches accordingly
Manage classroom environments effectively through classroom management techniques that foster safety, engagement, and respect among students
Provide early intervention services and support children with developmental disabilities or autism spectrum disorder to facilitate their learning and social integration
Develop curriculum adaptations for students with hearing impairments or those requiring deaf education services while ensuring accessibility for all learners
Maintain detailed documentation of student progress, behavior reports, and PEP goals to ensure compliance with educational standards and legal requirements

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Education, Special Education, Psychology, Child Development, or related field preferred
Florida teaching certification and/or ESE certification is preferred
At least three years of teaching experience
Specialized knowledge and experience to provide instruction to students with disabilities
Experience working with children with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, communication needs, or other neurodivergent learning profiles
Experience teaching or supporting early elementary students, ideally Kindergarten–2nd grade
Ability to implement individualized instruction based on student needs, developmental level, and learning style
Strong understanding of classroom routines, behavior support, positive reinforcement, and student regulation strategies
Ability to work collaboratively with classroom assistants, behavior therapists, related service providers, administration, and families
Must be able to pass required background screening
CPR/First Aid & CPI certification preferred or willingness to obtain
RBT, ABA, autism, or behavior-support experience strongly preferred

Preferred Skills

Experience with Florida B.E.S.T. Standards and/or Access Points
Ability to differentiate instruction for students with varying academic, communication, behavioral, and sensory needs
Strong classroom management skills using compassionate, evidence-based strategies
Experience supporting communication through visuals, AAC, social stories, modeling, and language-rich instruction
Ability to collect basic data on student progress, behavior, goals, and classroom participation
Comfortable supporting students with daily living skills, transitions, toileting routines, feeding/lunch routines, and social skills
Ability to create engaging hands-on lessons in literacy, math, science, art, movement, social-emotional learning, and functional skills
Knowledge of neurodiversity-affirming practices and trauma-informed care
Strong communication skills with parents and team members
Ability to maintain a calm, regulated presence in a busy classroom environment

The ideal candidate will have experience working with neurodivergent learners, including students with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, communication needs, and behavioral support needs. Candidates should have a strong understanding of early childhood or elementary education, differentiated instruction, classroom routines, and positive behavior support strategies. Experience with Florida B.E.S.T. Standards, Access Points, ABA-based strategies, visual supports, AAC, sensory regulation, and social-emotional learning is preferred.

Candidates must be patient, flexible, organized, nurturing, and able to create a safe, structured, and engaging classroom environment. The Primary 1 Teacher must be able to collaborate with classroom assistants, therapists, families, and administration to support each student’s academic, social, behavioral, and functional growth. CPR/First Aid, CPI, RBT, ESE, or autism-specific training is preferred but not required.

Join us in creating an inclusive educational environment where every child is valued! This position is ideal for educators eager to make a lasting impact by supporting children’s developmental journeys through innovative teaching practices and compassionate mentorship.
