Dynamic Remote Special Education Teacher – Full & Part‑Time Positions for Middle & High School Students in South Carolina (2024‑2025) – Earn $34+/hr + Benefits

Welcome to VocoVision – Shaping the Future of Virtual Special Education

VocoVision is a pioneering leader in tele‑therapy and virtual instruction, delivering high‑quality special‑education services to students across the United States. Our mission is to harness technology, evidence‑based practices, and compassionate expertise to create personalized learning experiences that empower every learner, regardless of location. As schools nationwide expand their remote‑learning capabilities, VocoVision is scaling rapidly, and we are looking for dedicated, credentialed Special Education teachers in South Carolina to join our vibrant, national team.

Our platform blends intuitive video‑conferencing tools, secure data‑management systems, and a responsive support network that includes clinical consultants, technology specialists, and district partners. By working with VocoVision, you’ll be at the forefront of an educational revolution—delivering instruction, behavior support, and transition planning to middle‑school and high‑school students from the comfort of your own home.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Flexibility & Freedom: Complete autonomy over your schedule, with the ability to work from any location that provides a reliable high‑speed internet connection.

• Professional Growth: Access to ongoing professional development, mentorship from seasoned special‑education leaders, and pathways to expand into supervisory or curriculum‑design roles.
• Impactful Work: Directly influence the academic and social outcomes of students with diverse learning needs, helping them achieve meaningful progress toward graduation and post‑secondary goals.

• Assessment & Data Analysis: Collect, analyze, and interpret formative and summative data to drive instructional decisions and measure student growth against IEP benchmarks.
• Technology Integration: Leverage VocoVision’s tele‑therapy platform, digital whiteboards, screen‑sharing tools, and accessibility features (e.g., captioning, text‑to‑speech) to create an inclusive virtual classroom.
• Professional Documentation: Maintain accurate, compliant records in accordance with IDEA, FERPA, and district policies, ensuring all documentation is uploaded promptly to secure servers.
• Continuous Learning: Participate in monthly professional‑development webinars, peer‑review sessions, and optional certification courses (e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorders, Transition Planning).
