Love Special Education but Ready for Something Different?
At BMP Special Education Cooperative, we're always planning ahead! With some retirements at the end of the 2026-2027 school year, we're starting to think about who might be interested in joining our team.
Have you ever considered becoming a Special Education Coordinator?
If you enjoy the IEP process, facilitating meetings, collaborating with teachers and families, observing students, and helping teams brainstorm solutions and supports, this might be a great next step for you!
If you love special education and want to use your experience to support students and teachers across multiple schools, this might be the perfect next step.
And did we mention the flexible schedule and summers off?
Who are we looking for?
An Illinois LBS1 endorsement is required, and a master's degree in special education is preferred. However, we will also consider candidates with several years of relevant special education experience who have a strong background in developing IEPs, actively participating on IEP teams, and working directly with students with disabilities. Candidates without a master's degree must be willing to pursue an advanced degree in special education.
Not sure what a Special Education Coordinator does day to day? We'd be happy to connect you with one of our current coordinators to ask questions and learn more about the position.
We plan to begin interviewing in February 2027, but we're sharing this now to give interested individuals time to think about the opportunity.
Maybe you're not actively looking for a change, but if this sounds like something you would enjoy, keep us in mind!
