These programs provide teachers with developed lessons that include every piece necessary to make the lessons successful. Teachers implement these lessons, adapting delivery in response to their student's performance, moving them through the lessons with a rate and accuracy that maximizes their learning potential.

Successful candidates will work as part of an engaged and supportive team to deliver our programming to students with a diverse range of learning needs. Support and feedback are provided as needed to ensure all teachers feel confident and comfortable in sessions.
