Work Schedule: 7:15 a.m. - 4:15 p.m. / Mon. - Fri.

WHO ARE WE:

Teachers On Demand ® is an educational staffing and recruiting firm that partners with schools, districts, and educational organizations nationwide to identify and hire exceptional teachers, instructors, paraprofessionals, administrators, and others who share our vision of creating a brighter future for students. We are proud to serve a growing number of communities where we support local schools and parents by connecting them with dedicated and qualified educators.

We are seeking a passionate, mission-aligned K-5 Adapted Curriculum Teacher to join our Georgia partner school community and serve scholars whose learning needs are supported through the Georgia Alternate Assessment (GAA 2.0) track.

***Candidate will work up to 60 days with Teachers On Demand ® as a Temp-to-Perm W2-Employee. Within this timeframe, the candidate will be hired as a Full-Time employee for the school.***

What You’ll Do

You’ll lead instruction that honors every scholar’s potential — and delivers meaningful, measurable growth.

As a K-5 Adapted Curriculum Teacher, you will:

  • Plan and deliver standards-aligned K-5 instruction grounded in the Georgia Standards of Excellence Extended Content Standards, aligned to the Georgia Alternate Assessment (GAA 2.0) track
  • Design individualized instruction that builds scholar skill in communication, functional academics (reading, writing, mathematics), independence, and life skills
  • Use evidence-based practices for scholars with significant cognitive disabilities — including systematic instruction, task analysis, discrete trial teaching, prompting hierarchies, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and visual supports
  • Follow Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) — including present levels of performance, measurable annual goals, service delivery, accommodations, modifications, and progress reporting
  • Administer the Georgia Alternate Assessment (GAA 2.0) with fidelity and prepare scholar portfolios or performance tasks as required
  • Collect and analyze scholar data to make instructional decisions and demonstrate progress toward IEP goals
  • Implement positive behavior supports and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs) in partnership with the Exceptional Children team and families
  • Partner with related-service providers (speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, adapted PE, etc.) to integrate services and reinforce goals across the school day
  • Manage sensory, communication, and physical accommodations — including AAC devices, adaptive seating, feeding protocols, and toileting supports — with dignity and care
  • Build strong, trust-based relationships with families rooted in respect for their expertise as their scholar’s first teacher
  • Uphold and reinforce the school's culture of high expectations, urgency, and joy
  • Participate in coaching cycles, professional development, and grade-level planning
  • Support school-wide operations during non-instructional blocks — including arrival and dismissal duties, family engagement events, and other operational needs as assigned

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a passionate, mission-aligned educator who sees every scholar’s potential and delivers instruction with warmth, skill, and structure.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

  • Believe in the potential of every scholar — including scholars with significant cognitive disabilities
  • Bring warmth, patience, structure, and joy to your classroom every day
  • Communicate clearly with scholars at all levels of communication ability, with families, and with adult colleagues
  • Lead paraprofessionals with respect, clarity, and coaching
  • Are coachable, reflective, and open to feedback
  • Are comfortable with physical, personal-care, and behavioral aspects of the role, including toileting, feeding, positioning, and behavior de-escalation
  • Thrive in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
