Autism teacher position - Ann Arbor MI

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I have attached below a posting for a teaching job in Ann Arbor,

Michigan for an elementary special education teacher to work with

children on the autism spectrum. Our parent group is actively involved

with our district to try to find the best folks for the job. We have a

new Autism Coordinator this year, who has excellent credentials and

experience, very pro-ABA and she is a precision teacher, a BCBA (or soon

to be one). So I think the job will be very interesting for someone

with both the teaching credentials and a behavioral

background/inclination. The Autism coordinator is in the process of

developing autism programming for all of the kids in our district, so

these classrooms (there may be more than one open as well) will really

be a chance to develop a great level of service to really make a

difference for these kids! And our parent group REALLY would love to

get someone with ABA experience and training, as well as direct

instruction and precision teaching experience too.

Ann Arbor is a wonderful college town, as long as you don't mind cold

weather (although we haven't had much snow this year!). A very nice

place to live! :-)

Please see the web page link at the bottom if you might be interested.

Just FYI, our special education administrator is Pam Krogness and our

autism coordinator is Beth Swatsky. Contact info is below if you want

to talk or email them as well.

Pam Krogness: krogness@...

Beth Swatsky: swatsky@...

Work phone for both: 734-994-2318
