Early Childhood Special Education

Posted: January 30, 2026

Gothenburg Public Schools is seeking an energetic and passionate individual to join our special education team!  We are currently accepting applications for an early childhood special education teacher interested in working with students and their families.


We are the cornerstone of a proud, passionate, and progressive community where students and staff thrive in a positive and innovative environment and ensure the growth of all individuals by inspiring them to own and maximize their potential. 


Our community is picturesque with tree-lined streets, homes full of character, manicured lawns, green parks, and an exercise trail that circles a lake.  Gothenburg was voted as a 2019 All-America City and a 2022 Community of the Year by the Nebraska Diplomats.  Our progressive community offers a quality of life desired by many but achieved by few.

 


If you are looking for an opportunity to become part of a true school community and a collaborative team, we encourage you to apply for our early childhood special education teacher position for the 2026-2027 school year.   

Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
