Description
REQUIRED: Active Arizona Special Education Teaching Certificate and Arizona Residency.
What if your Special Education expertise could do more than support compliance—and actually help reinvent school?
At Unbound Academy, we've rebuilt school from the ground up. We're the first virtual, tuition-free charter school where students master academics in just two hours a day using adaptive AI—freeing their afternoons for immersive, real-life learning. Our Guides don't deliver lectures. They coach, inspire, and lead hands-on workshops that teach storytelling, entrepreneurship, design, wellness, and more. Now we need a Special Education professional who can do both: coach students toward life readiness and lead our IEP program with precision.
This role is for the SPED teacher who's done it all. You've led your own classroom—but you've also been the person writing, updating, and coordinating IEPs behind the scenes. You know what it takes to keep us in compliance and still keep kids at the center. You're based in Arizona and fully certified. Most of all, you're energized by the idea of doing meaningful work—not busywork—in a school that actually prepares kids for real life.
If you're ready to ditch the red tape and do SPED differently, this is your chance to build something better.
What you will be doing
- Writing, updating, and managing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) in full alignment with Arizona state requirements
- Coordinating accommodations and compliance needs across a dynamic virtual learning environment
- Leading high-energy, real-world virtual workshops in topics like entrepreneurship, storytelling, or wellness
- Coaching SPED students one-on-one and in small groups to build confidence, executive functioning, and self-direction
- Collaborating with our school team to evolve how we support and empower exceptional learners
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering traditional academic instruction—our AI tutors handle that
- Working in isolation from the classroom—you'll be actively engaged with students
- Spending your days on unnecessary paperwork, meetings, or micromanagement
- Following a one-size-fits-all teaching model—this is tailored, agile education
Key responsibilities
Lead the development, execution, and compliance of all IEPs while engaging students in transformative, life-skill-building virtual experiences.
Candidate requirements
- Reside in Arizona
- Hold a valid Arizona Special Education teaching certification
- Minimum 3 years of experience writing and updating IEPs
- Experience coordinating accommodations and handling SPED compliance tasks
- Prior experience working with students aged 8–14
- Strong virtual presence and communication skills; on-camera confidence is essential
- Thrive in a fast-paced, tech-powered school environment
