LIfe Skills Teacher

ESU 8 is currently accepting applications for a special education teacher for the 2026-2027 school year.  

In response to the increasing needs of our students and the growth of our program, we propose the addition of another teaching position, grade level to be determined based on candidate’s endorsement and/or experience.

 The teacher will work at the  ESU 8 operated Level III Life Skills program located in Clearwater for students with cognitive disabilities.  At the Central  Learning Center, students learn functional academics, communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills.  The teacher will help them practice these skills at school, job sites, and community settings.

Responsibilities include writing and implementing IEPs, providing instruction in academics and daily living skills, working with related services providers, and supervising paraprofessionals.
