High School Special Education Teacher

The Ecology Learning Center is a public charter high school in rural Waldo County, Maine with the mission to deeply root students in Maine’s ecological and cultural landscapes, foster authentic real-world learning through mentorship and craft, and cultivate compassionate and resilient leaders prepared to engage in the challenges of today and tomorrow.  The Ecology Learning Center opened September 1, 2020 and currently enrolls 120 students (grades 9-12). The Center was authorized as the tenth and final charter school in Maine following a lengthy application process and operating a successful pilot program from 2018 to 2020.

We believe all students have the right to rigorous, relevant, and joyful learning experiences led by exceptionally talented and diverse educators who promote student achievement and a sense of belonging. Our goal is to prepare students for college and careers while focusing on rural community development and environmental stewardship.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher who is team-oriented, committed to student success, and inspired by the opportunity to continue developing an innovative school.  The Special Education teacher will provide special education services to identified students so they may receive their education in the least restrictive educational alternative with access to the general curriculum. The teacher will lead a team of three Ed Techs to help students learn subject matter and skills that will contribute to their development as mature, able, and responsible citizens, and lead them to fulfill their potential for intellectual, emotional, and psychological growth.
