NOW HIRING for 2026-2027
SpEd/Behavior Support Paraprofessional
Term: 08/04/2026-06/04/2027

Do you crave a diverse learning environment in the city center, made up of a crew that believes in deeper learning, provides coaching and robust professional development for teachers, and takes learning beyond the classroom and into the real world? At DDES, we believe that all students deserve access to rigorous, engaging learning experiences, and we provide opportunities for meaningful work.

The Downtown Denver Expeditionary School (DDES) is a K-5 public charter school in the portfolio of Denver Public Schools. DDES was founded by a group of parents, community members, and business leaders seeking a high-performing EL Education (formerly Expeditionary Learning) school to serve a diverse range of families who live, work, or learn in downtown Denver. DDES is part of a network of schools that challenge students to think critically and take active roles in their classrooms and communities, resulting in higher achievement and greater engagement in school.

Our Approach

The city is our campus: Students interact with their community through fieldwork and service-learning.
Real-world learning: Students tackle real-world problems through multi-subject learning expeditions and produce high-quality work to present to authentic audiences.
Whole Child Education: Social-emotional learning (SEL) and character development are core components of our curriculum, emphasized in daily Crew blocks, restorative practices, and adventure trips for all grade levels.
Diverse by Design: DDES is committed to becoming a fully integrated K-5 public school, both racially and socio-economically. We focus on anti-racist practices, culturally responsive curriculum, and partnerships with BIPOC professionals to enrich our students’ learning.

Position Overview

The SpEd/Behavior Support Paraprofessional supports assigned students academically and behaviorally throughout the school day. This includes implementing Behavior Intervention Plans in alignment with the Neurosequential Model of Education. Responsibilities range from relationship-building activities to social-emotional skill-building and de-escalation techniques. The role is approximately 33-40 hours per week, with the option to work additional hours in DDES’s aftercare program.

Comprehensive medical and dental plan: 100% paid by DDES.
PERA retirement plan: With employer contributions.
Parking: 100% covered by DDES.
Generous paid time off: 48 hours of paid sick time, 40 hours of PTO, plus holidays and seasonal breaks.
Flexible Savings Account options for medical and childcare.
Free on-site aftercare: If your child attends DDES.

Professional Growth & Development

Two-week summer PD institute.
Weekly professional development for Teaching Assistants.
Opportunities for lead teacher roles and tuition assistance through the TA/Para to Teacher pipeline program.
Training in restorative practices, the Neurosequential Model in Education, and culturally responsive classroom techniques.

Our Culture
At DDES, we don’t just accept differences — we celebrate them, support them, and thrive on them for the benefit of our employees, students, and community. DDES seeks to recruit individuals of diverse backgrounds and support the retention and advancement of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) within our organization. We are inclusive of people regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, marital status, age, physical abilities, political affiliation, or religious beliefs. All employees are valued, included, and supported.

Ideal Candidates Will Possess:

A desire to continuously improve and expand your skillset.
Knowledge of child development, behavior regulation, and relationship-building best practices.

A commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the classroom.
