Urgently Hiring: Special Education Teacher
Houston | 2026–2027 | Full Time (On-Site)| $60,000-$80,000
We’re urgently hiring Special Education Teachers across Houston to support some of the region’s most inclusive, student-centered public charter schools.

As one of the earliest charter networks in Texas-founded in Houston in 1994 and operating as KIPP Texas since 2018-we hire dynamic, collaborative, and dedicated individuals with an unyielding belief that every child will succeed.
Work collaboratively with general education teachers and administrators to oversee the responsibilities of the paraprofessional in implementing student programs, to include training in regards to data collection and implementation of specific instructional strategies.
