Your school will likely need a new Special Education teacher this fall. Whether you lose a teacher due to turnover, burnout, maternity leave, or if your school is expanding and needs to add staff to keep up with an influx of new students, there’s no better time to start searching than now. If you are looking to hire a new Special Education teacher, use these tips from the experts at Spotter Staffing.
How Can I Find New Special Education Teachers For My School?
Because hiring a specialized professional like a Special Education teacher requires careful vetting and consideration, it can be more time and resource consuming than many other positions. If you want to make sure your school’s next hire is their best yet, follow the below advice:
Post Your Open Job on Niche Job Boards
Posting a job for a position like Special Education Teacher may not get it in front of the right eyeballs. If you want your open position to be seen by the most, and the best, potential applicants, it is a good decision to post to job boards that are niche to teachers, and specifically teachers for special needs students. Broader job boards like Monster and Indeed may lose your position to a sea of other or unqualified applicants, so take the time to find an exact job board that meets your needs.
Reach Out to Newly Graduated Students with Special Education Degrees
If you are looking to hire new Special Education teachers, reaching out to new graduates can be one way to find them. If your position doesn’t require extensive experience, or if there are skills the position requires that you feel would be best fit by a newly graduated teacher, finding applicants from local colleges and universities is one way to fill your open role.
