Mount Saint Vincent Hiring for Teacher Special Education Job at Denver, CO Full Time

You bring your body, mind, heart and spirit to your work as a Special Education Teacher.

You know when to move quickly. When to sit quietly. When to laugh loudly.

You know how to move fast. You know how to stay organized. You know how to have fun.

You’re equally comfortable with planning developmentally-appropriate activities, assisting children with daily hygiene needs, and teaching in a classroom setting.

You’re great at what you do, but you want to be part of something even greater. Because you believe that while individuals can be strong, the right team is invincible.
