Teacher (Special Education)

What you would do

• Prepare yearly instruction outlines and daily lesson plans with clear goals.
• Teach students using methods and resources that fit each subject and student.
• Check student progress with tests and other methods, and adjust lessons for individual needs.
• Report student progress to parents and meet with parents and other concerned people.
• Keep order in the classroom and counsel individual students.

Do you qualify for CY-11 (up to CY-17)?

With education: You need a bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited school, plus a valid teacher certificate in the right endorsement area. Emergency and provisional certificates may be accepted if the state issued them under its conditions. Coursework should relate to the subject you teach or to general teaching methods.

Licenses and certifications you need:

• Valid teacher licensure or certification in the state where the job is located, in the special education specialty field

How to apply well

What to send:

• Resume of no more than 2 single-sided pages, with 10-point minimum font, 0.5-inch margins, month and year dates, and hours worked per week
• Copy of valid state teacher certificate showing state, your name, issue date, expiration date, and endorsements
• College transcripts showing school name, student name, degree type, and date conferred
• Form BIA 4432 from your enrolled tribe if you claim Indian preference
• DD-214 after selection if you want it considered for service computation dates
• Most recent SF-50 after selection if you are a current or former federal employee

How you will be rated: You must first meet the education and licensure requirements. Then subject matter experts rate your resume and questionnaire answers on accountability, conflict management, customer service, education and training, and planning and evaluating, and inflated or inaccurate information can cause you to lose consideration.

Tips for this job:

• Keep your resume to 2 single-sided pages and show month and year dates and hours per week, since pages beyond 2 are not reviewed.
• Upload a state teacher certificate that shows the state, your name, issue dates, and endorsements, because DODEA certificates are not accepted.
• If you claim Indian preference, include Form BIA 4432 completed by your tribe, since no other form is accepted.
