Full Job Description

KVC Missouri Teacher Pathway Program

Starting at $40,000 annually | Full benefits | School-year schedule | Additional $1,000 sign-on bonus available for positions at the residential location.

A structured learning environment with comprehensive benefits and a pathway into special education teaching.

KVC Missouri offers a full-time, benefits-eligible classroom role designed for individuals who want to grow into a career in special education. This position provides structured training, consistent school-based work, and long-term support toward teacher certification while you are employed.

This is not an unpaid internship or volunteer pathway. It is a salaried, full-time position with full benefits, a consistent Monday–Friday school schedule, and school-year breaks.

What This Role Looks Like

As a Teacher I, you will work in a small, structured special education classroom supporting students with behavioral, emotional, and learning needs.

You will:

Support students’ academic, social, emotional, and behavioral development within a therapeutic learning environment
Collaborate closely with licensed special education teachers, therapists, and other support staff to implement individualized student supports
Utilize trauma-informed practices and evidence-based behavioral support strategies throughout the school day
Build consistent, trusting relationships with students to support stability, engagement, and progress

Why Professionals Choose This Path

This role is especially well-suited for individuals transitioning from behavioral health, social services, or direct care who are seeking a more structured school-based environment.

Employees are drawn to this role for:

Full-time, salaried employment with full benefits and the work-life balance of a school-based schedule, including holidays, planned breaks, and summers off (per academic calendar)
A consistent Monday–Friday schedule
No nights, weekends, or shift work
A clear, supported pathway into a long-term education career

Training and Career Development

KVC Missouri provides structured support to help employees grow into certified teaching roles, including:

New employee onboarding and classroom orientation
Ongoing training in special education practices and behavioral support strategies
One-on-one mentorship throughout the first year
KVC-funded participation in Missouri’s Pathways for Paraprofessionals program
Tuition reimbursement to support continued education and degree completion
Eligibility for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) as a qualifying employer
Ongoing opportunities to pursue Special Education Teacher certification over time

Who This Role Is Designed For

We are seeking individuals with experience or academic backgrounds in:

Those with degrees in education, behavioral sciences, psychology, sociology, criminal justice, non-profit leadership, nursing, liberal arts, etc.
Experience working with children/teens and students in an educational setting or behavioral health settings, juvenile justice, healthcare and intellectual and developmental disabilities programs.
Experience working in youth camps, learning programs, religious youth programs, youth clubs, in home care, mentor programs, etc.

Qualifications

Must be at least 21 years old
Required: Missouri Substitute Certification (via 36 college hours OR 20 hour MO course)
Bachelor’s degree preferred* (Education, Psychology, Social Work, or related field)
Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
Ability to pass background check, drug screen, and physical
