Special Education Teacher | Aurora, CO

Full-Time | School-Based | Salary: $65,000-$95,000

$2,000 Sign on Bonus!

At Community Autism Services, we know that great outcomes for students start with great support for teachers. You won't be handed a caseload and left to figure it out - you'll have BCBAs, clinical leadership, and a collaborative team behind you every step of the way. We build environments where teachers thrive, and where the work you do has a measurable, lasting impact on students' lives.

WHAT SETS US APART

Embedded BCBA support and collaborative consultation on every caseload
A culture that prioritizes data-driven instruction without losing the human element
Real investment in your professional development - ABA, trauma-informed practice, AAC, secondary transition, and more
Meaningful, stable work in Aurora's growing school-based programs
A leadership team that has worked in the field and genuinely gets it

Our Approach

CAS operates within Aurora Public Schools as a state-aligned district. Our SPED teachers hold the Colorado Special Education Generalist credential and serve across program types - ASD, Affective Needs, CoAlt/SSN - through training, experience, and collaboration rather than separate licensure tracks. We believe every classroom should be a place of high expectations, evidence-based practice, and genuine connection.

Role Overview

The Special Education Teacher is the heartbeat of the classroom. You'll design and deliver individualized, evidence-based instruction to students with a range of needs - from students on the autism spectrum (non-verbal to social skills) to students with affective/emotional needs and those served through CoAlt/SSN programs. You'll partner closely with BCBAs, paraprofessionals, families, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure every student's IEP is not just compliant - but meaningful.

We are hiring for two program levels - Elementary (K-5) and Middle/High School (6-12). Apply for the level that matches your experience and passion; we will not ask you to teach where you don't want to be.

What You'll Do

IEP CASE MANAGEMENT & COMPLIANCE

Serve as case manager for a caseload of students with disabilities; write data-driven, compliant IEPs with meaningful, measurable goals
Facilitate annual IEP meetings, triennial evaluations, and eligibility determinations in partnership with the multidisciplinary team
Develop and monitor progress toward academic, behavioral, communication, and functional goals
Complete required documentation - progress reports, meeting notes, prior written notices - accurately and on time
Participate in MTSS/RTI processes for students approaching or holding special education eligibility

INSTRUCTION & DIFFERENTIATION

Deliver structured, individualized instruction aligned to each student's IEP goals and Colorado Academic Standards (or CoAlt Extended Evidence Outcomes where applicable)
Implement evidence-based instructional strategies including discrete trial teaching, NDBIs, and structured teaching approaches
Differentiate instruction across modalities and learning profiles; adapt curriculum for students with mild-to-profound needs
Support and implement AAC systems - SGDs, PECS, and manual sign - in coordination with SLPs and BCBAs
Collaborate with general education teachers on push-in/co-teaching models, accommodations, and modifications for students in inclusive settings

BEHAVIOR & SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

Partner with BCBAs on the development, implementation, and monitoring of FBAs and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs)
Collect behavioral and instructional data consistently - frequency, duration, ABC, interval -and use it to drive instructional decisions
Implement trauma-informed, restorative-justice-aligned practices and de-escalation strategies in the classroom
For Affective Needs classrooms: coordinate wraparound care with mental health providers, school counselors, and when appropriate, medical and law enforcement partners
Utilize frameworks such as SOAR, collaborative problem solving, and tiered behavioral supports as appropriate to the program

TEAM LEADERSHIP & PARAPROFESSIONAL SUPPORT

Supervise, train, and coach paraprofessionals and classroom support staff in daily implementation of student programs
Provide real-time feedback and structured coaching to paras on instructional delivery, behavior support, and data collection
Communicate effectively with families - building trust, sharing progress, and partnering on goals in and out of the IEP process
Actively participate in school-based MTSS, problem-solving, and grade-level teams

What We're Looking For

Licensure & Credential Requirements

We accept applicants who meet any of the following Colorado credential pathways:

Active Colorado CDE License with Special Education Generalist Endorsement - the standard pathway for fully licensed special educators in Colorado.
Professional License (7-Year): Issued to applicants who meet Colorado's full licensure requirements and have at least three years of post-preparation, full-time, fully licensed experience in the past seven years in the state where they were previously licensed.
Initial License (3-Year): Issued to applicants who meet Colorado's requirements but have fewer than three years of qualifying licensed experience.
Substitute Educator Eligibility (SEE) Pathway: Also considered on a case-by-case basis.

BONUS - NICE TO HAVE

General education teaching license or endorsement (not required, but valued - especially for secondary co-teaching and content competency alignment)
Bilingual fluency in English and Spanish
Training or certification in CPI, Safety-Care, or similar crisis prevention/intervention frameworks
Experience with school-based IEP platforms such as Infinite Campus or Frontline

Compensation & Benefits

Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
Paid school-year schedule following the APS academic calendar
Ongoing professional development: ABA, AAC, trauma-informed practices, secondary transition, and more
Career pathways into lead teacher, program specialist, and instructional coaching roles

About CAS

Community Autism Services is committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care to children and families while creating meaningful, sustainable careers for our team members. We believe exceptional outcomes start with well-supported educators - through strong leadership, thoughtful systems, and a culture rooted in collaboration and growth.

As part of a nationwide organization, CAS combines the stability of scale with the heart of a community-based provider. Whether you work in elementary ASD programs or secondary affective needs classrooms, you'll find opportunities to grow, lead, and make a lasting impact on the students who need you most.
