Job Description

Job Description

We are Rocky Mountain Prep, a movement comprised of incredible educators, families, scholars, and advocates who are changing the face of public education in Colorado by democratizing college access and preparation for historically marginalized students and families. On paper, we are a network of twelve college preparatory charter schools in the Denver metro area serving students as young as twelve weeks through twelfth grade.

But we are so much more than this.

If you are mission-driven, humble in your reflections about your practice, smart in your approach to data, and results-oriented, we’d love to have you apply.

Role Mission

Special Education Teachers at Rocky Mountain Prep play a critical role in fostering inclusive, achievement-driven learning environments that empower scholars to reach their full potential. Guided by a commitment to equity and collaboration, you will provide individualized instruction aligned with scholars' Individual Education Programs (IEPs), combining inclusion-based support and targeted interventions. As a case manager, you will lead the development and implementation of IEPs, Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs), and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs), leveraging a team-based approach and maintaining a relentless focus on growth. With data-informed practices, you will monitor progress toward goals, ensuring that each scholar receives the tailored support they need to thrive. You will partner closely with general education teachers and specialized service providers to uphold our commitment to rigorous academic outcomes and holistic scholar development.

All Teachers at Rocky Mountain Prep will :

  • Own student outcomes by setting high expectations, using data to guide your teaching, maximizing instructional time, re-teaching where needed, and promoting outstanding scholar growth and proficiency.
  • Take ownership of your professional growth by actively engaging in regular coaching, being open to feedback, and commitment to continuous improvement.
  • Be punctual and prepared for all lessons, coaching sessions, staff meetings, and other professional obligations (such as Professional Development, parent-teacher conferences, etc).
  • Build a strong, inclusive classroom culture where scholars thrive through proactive routines, culturally responsive structures, and restorative practices that foster belonging.
  • Foster strong relationships with families through consistent communication, home visits, and engagement in school events, embracing each family's unique perspectives and promoting inclusion and diversity
  • Model and embody RMP’s PEAK values (Perseverance, Excellence, Adventure, and Kindness) in all interactions with scholars, families, and staff.
  • Collaborate with colleagues, special education teachers, and support staff to deliver grade-level content and targeted interventions for all students.
  • Participate in and contribute to school-wide initiatives, professional development, and student and staff recruitment efforts.
  • Support school operations by assisting with daily duties such as arrival, dismissal, and lunch, ensuring a smooth, safe, and organized learning environment.
  • RMP is fast-paced and data-driven. Your role combines clear expectations but also requires flexibility to adapt and contribute to our evolving Concept Essence.

Special Education Teachers at Rocky Mountain Prep will :

  • Provide research-based, individualized instruction to address the instructional goals and objectives outlined in each student’s IEP, ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations as well as School Board policies.
  • Develop, implement, and monitor IEPs and evaluations that meet CDE quality standards, including present performance levels, instructional goals, benchmarks, accommodations, and related services; analyze data to set and track goals.
  • Facilitate IEP meetings efficiently and deliver clear information that families understand in supporting their child’s educational program planning
  • Conduct special education evaluations, reevaluations, FBAs, and BIPs, and manage the IEP caseload, including scheduling and leading meetings with families, general education teachers, school leaders, and service providers.
  • Collaborate with general education teachers and staff to ensure accommodations and modifications are consistently and effectively implemented across the educational environment.
  • Prepare and teach individualized daily interventions across multiple content areas, utilizing data-informed instructional techniques to meet the unique needs of scholars and provide timely feedback.
  • Coach and support dedicated adult supports (I.e., paraprofessionals), ensuring they deliver one-on-one and small-group support for academic, behavioral, social, and adaptive skills development, including integration into general education settings.
  • Utilize strong time management and organizational skills to support diverse student levels and needs, ensuring consistent progress monitoring and documentation of student growth.
  • Create a positive and engaging learning environment that emphasizes individualized instruction using various tools, including iPads and other appropriate resources, to enhance scholarly learning.
  • Complete all district and state reporting requirements and maintain compliance with policies while effectively communicating with parents and serving as the primary point of contact for students on the caseload.
  • Qualifications

    Required :

    Education Requirements :

  • Bachelor’s and / or master’s degree (any subject)
  • Must possess the following :

  • Current Colorado teaching license with a special education generalist (5-21) and / or special education specialist (5-21) endorsement(s)
  • Special Education teachers must be certified in Colorado. If your license is from another state, you must complete the transfer before the first day of work.
  • Pass a background check
  • Demonstrate eligibility to work in the United States
  • We use E-Verify to confirm the identity and employment eligibility of all new hires.
  • Preferred :

  • History of working with special needs populations
  • Understand ABC data collection
  • History of case management
  • CPI / NCI Trained
  • Compensation and Benefits

  • Salary : Full-time position with a salary range of $62,000 to $92,800, based on experience and qualifications.
  • Benefits : Includes health insurance (medical, dental, vision), disability insurance, life insurance, PERA retirement, and paid time off.
  • Why RMP?

    You are joining a movement at Rocky Mountain Prep, not just a school. Here, you’ll benefit from impactful development and coaching in a community that embraces feedback and prioritizes continuous growth. At RMP, love and high expectations work together, with every staff member dedicated to ensuring our students receive the opportunities they deserve.
