Montana schools are facing a teaching crisis. We have more special education positions than teachers. Rural schools are at a particular disadvantage and often have to fill positions with the first available teacher rather than the best fit for their school. We provide an experienced special education teacher who can hit the ground running on day one, so you can keep searching for your best fit or keep us around if you like. We offer a customizable menu of special education resources for rural schools.
I’m a first generation college graduate with 29 years of experience in every aspect of education from kindergarten through college, primarily as a special education specialist. I've taught in public and private schools and served as a principal, superintendent, and college education program director over the course of my career. As the head of a teacher preparation program at a small college, I regularly received calls from administrators begging me to help them find a special education teacher. Sadly, we haven't have enough to go around for years and students suffered.
