Description
REQUIRED: Valid Arizona Special Education Teaching Certificate and Arizona Residency.
What if your expertise in Special Education could go beyond meeting compliance standards—and truly help transform education?
Unbound Academy has reimagined education entirely. We are the first tuition-free virtual charter school where students complete their academic mastery in just two hours daily through adaptive AI—leaving their afternoons open for immersive, experiential learning. Our Guides don't stand at the front of a classroom. Instead, they mentor, motivate, and facilitate interactive workshops covering storytelling, entrepreneurship, design, wellness, and beyond. We're now seeking a Special Education professional capable of both: guiding students toward independence and real-world readiness while managing our IEP program with expert precision.
This position is designed for the SPED educator who has comprehensive experience. You've managed your own classroom—and you've also been the one drafting, revising, and overseeing IEPs in the background. You understand how to maintain compliance while keeping student needs front and center. You are Arizona-based and hold full certification. Above all, you're motivated by the opportunity to engage in work that truly matters—not administrative busywork—within a school designed to prepare students for the real world.
If you're ready to leave behind the bureaucracy and reimagine SPED, this is your opportunity to create something exceptional.
What you will be doing
- Drafting, revising, and overseeing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) in complete accordance with Arizona state standards
- Managing accommodations and ensuring compliance across a flexible virtual learning platform
- Facilitating engaging, real-world virtual workshops on subjects such as entrepreneurship, storytelling, or wellness
- Mentoring SPED students individually and in small groups to foster confidence, executive function skills, and independence
- Working alongside our team to advance how we serve and empower exceptional learners
What you will NOT be doing
- Providing conventional academic instruction—our AI tutors take care of that
- Operating in isolation away from students—you'll be directly involved with learners
- Filling your schedule with redundant paperwork, meetings, or excessive oversight
- Adhering to a rigid, standardized teaching approach—this is personalized, adaptive education
Key responsibilities
Oversee the creation, implementation, and compliance of all IEPs while guiding students through meaningful, life-skill-focused virtual learning 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
