About the Job

Description

Special Education Teacher
Next Charter School isn’t a typical high school — and we’re not looking for a typical teacher. Founded in partnership with the Derry Cooperative School District, Next was designed to be small, flexible, and deeply personalized. Since 2013, we’ve been helping students who want something different find success through meaningful learning experiences.

We’re seeking a Special Education Teacher who is excited to work in a collaborative, student-centered environment where creativity and flexibility are valued.

What You’ll Do

  • Teach small groups in areas such as Math, Reading, and Executive Functioning Skills
     
  • Manage a caseload of 15–20 students
     
  • Partner with general education teachers to ensure every student can access learning
     
  • Lead and support paraprofessionals to maintain compliance with IEPs
     

What We’re Looking For

  • A strong belief in inclusion and the idea that every student can succeed
     
  • Comfort with technology and curiosity about assistive tools
     
  • Flexibility and openness to innovative approaches to instruction and assessment
     
  • Sensitivity to the diverse needs of learners and their families
     
  • A team player who believes in our mission and is willing to grow alongside our students
     

Qualifications

  • NH Special Education certification (or eligible for SOE / certification from another state)
     
  • School-based experience preferred, but not required
     

Why Work at Next?
 At Next, you’ll be part of a small, mission-driven team where your voice matters and your work makes a direct impact on students’ lives. You’ll also benefit from:

  • A 196-day contract, with a schedule designed for balance and sustainability
     
  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits, including health, dental, and life insurance, NH Retirement, 403(b) contributions, tuition reimbursement, and professional development
     
  • A collaborative culture where teachers design innovative learning experiences and students are supported as individuals
