What is a Traveling Special Ed. Teacher?

Traveling special education teachers are licensed educators who enjoy full-time pay and benefits in short-term and full-academic year contracts at districts that are facing staffing shortages or growing student needs. Whether it's a rural district with limited access to specialized support or an urban school in the middle of hiring transitions, traveling SPED professionals' step in to ensure continuity of care and instruction. 

Near the end of every contract, you'll have the option of choosing another travel position or taking time off in between contracts to vacation or explore new places. Every assignment is an opportunity to uplift a school, empower young minds, and fulfill your personal goals of exploration and travel.
