Special Education Teacher

Special Education Teacher - K-12
Bering Strait School District is accepting applications for Special Education teachers for the 2024-25 school year. We are beginning to do interviews by video conference and other means.

We are a standards-based and data-driven district, and require progressive, flexible teachers who are supportive of a Response to Intervention (RTI) approach to instruction, and willing to implement related strategies.

Being comfortable using technology to track student progress, and to prepare documentation would be a significant advantage. BSSD utilizes a comprehensive web database for tracking student progress called PowerSchool, technology is used for most day-to-day tasks. All classrooms are wirelessly connected to the Internet.

Our district offers very competitive salaries, many strong opportunities for staff development, and an innovative professional climate. When it comes to unique living and work experiences, we have some of the best. Check our website for details about our district, as well as video clips of our villages, and even a forum for posting questions.
