Job Description Special Education Teacher Launch EL Charter School | Brooklyn, NY About Launch Launch EL Charter School serves middle and high school students from across Brooklyn, reflecting the vibrant diversity of our city. Rooted in the values of Crew, Excellence, and Equity, our mission is to prepare students in under-resourced communities to thrive in college and careers — through active learning experiences and powerful character development that develop learners, leaders, and changemakers. Our model is built on EL Education's proven approach, and Launch has earned credentials in Mastery of Knowledge and Skills and Character — with High Quality Work in progress this year. Launch students consistently outperform NYS peers in both growth and achievement. Our vision is to offer a world-class public education to students and families in Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and surrounding communities — one that opens doors to the most competitive universities and careers, and empowers students to lead fulfilling lives of choice and purpose. At Launch, we are committed to engaging, rigorous instruction and strong character. We support the growth of smart, good people. Why Launch At Launch, you will not be handed a script and left alone to figure it out. This is a school where the adults model the same habits of learning and reflection we ask of students. Our families are deeply engaged: 96% approve of what we are doing, and they will hold us to it. If you are looking for a place where the work is serious, the community is real, and your growth as a teacher is treated as non-negotiable, Launch is that place. The Role Launch EL Charter School is seeking a Special Education Teacher to join our Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) team. At Launch, special education is not a separate track — it is a fully integrated practice inside a rigorous, expedition-based classroom. Students with IEPs, English and Multilingual Learners, and students who are not yet at grade level do not receive a diminished version of the Launch experience. They receive the full thing, with expert, intentional support that meets them where they are and moves them forward. This role is built on a genuine co-teaching partnership. You will plan alongside your co-teacher, share the classroom, and take direct responsibility for the growth of every student — not just those on your caseload. You will carry a caseload, write IEP goals and Present Level of Performance reports, and present on student growth at annual meetings. Launch students with IEPs make measurable progress toward their annual goals, and this teacher will be accountable for sustaining and building on that. This is not a support role. This is a full instructional role with a specific area of expertise that makes every student in the room more successful. Who You Are You believe that disability does not determine destiny — and that Black and Brown students with IEPs deserve access to the same rich, rigorous, culturally grounded learning as every other student in this building. You are a skilled collaborator who knows how to share a classroom, build a co-teaching partnership based on trust and honesty, and adapt instruction in real time without ever signaling to a student that they are receiving something lesser. You are the kind of teacher who does not just accept feedback but acts on it before the next lesson. You lead with care and hold high expectations at the same time. The ideal candidate will demonstrate our Launch Habits of Responsibility: • Integrity and Stewardship: You always work to do what is best and right for our community and inspire confidence in others through consistent honesty and care., • Kindness and Collaboration: You make others feel like they belong through empathy and genuine care., • Imagination and Spirit: You hold an unwavering belief that we can accomplish our goals, even when the work is hard., • Dedication and Practice: You use each opportunity to support our mission and reflect on your actions with a focus on continuous improvement., • Equity Commitment: You actively examine your own practice through an equity lens, name and address barriers that prevent students from thriving, and believe that creating an equitable classroom is ongoing, intentional work, not a checkbox.
