This week, the Exceptional Child department came together to prepare for this school year during the annual symposium! Staff members took time to learn about evaluation tools, communication devices, curriculum, behavior strategies, and more! These staff members are amazing, and we thank them for their commitment to the students of Rowan County Schools!

Rowan County Schools is looking for a Learning-and-Behavior (LBD) Disabilities teacher for our elementary program. 📚✏️🚌

You’d be working with a great staff and have lots of support available!! 🤩

It’s a great schedule for someone with school aged children! You don’t have to originally have a bachelors in teaching. There are many options to go back and get your masters degree while you work!

Or maybe you’re a retired LBD teacher interested in part-time work!

Or maybe you’re working on your masters in Special Education and aren’t quite finished, but are ready to start as an LBD teacher!

Please feel free to reach out for more information!

Please share!!!
