About the Role

We're hiring full-time High School Paraprofessionals to support students in self-contained special education classrooms in Gilbert, AZ. You'll work alongside the classroom teacher and school team to help students build academic, social, emotional, and daily living skills in a structured, supportive environment. It's meaningful, hands-on work where you'll see your impact on students' growth and independence every day.

Schedule: Full-time, 35 hrs/week | Monday-Friday, 7:30 AM - 2:20 PM

Classroom Openings

• SPICE I: Support students who are developing foundational skills in language, socialization, cognition, self-help, and motor skills. Instruction happens one-on-one and in small groups using ABA-based strategies such as Discrete Trial Teaching and Pivotal Response Teaching. The classroom is highly structured with consistent routines, visual supports, and reinforcement systems.
• SPICE II: Support students who are at or near grade level and use conversational language but need help applying their skills across people, settings, and activities. You'll support social skills, language, emotional regulation, and academics, both in the classroom and in general education settings, with a focus on building independence and reducing adult support.
• ESAP (Emotional, Social, Academic Program): Support students in a structured, positive, and therapeutic setting focused on behavioral, social, and academic growth. You'll work with teachers, counselors, and psychologists to use positive behavior strategies, build students' self-esteem and pro-social skills, and help them move into general education classrooms as they progress.

What You'll Do

• Work as part of a classroom team to support academic instruction, behavioral needs, and individualized student goals
• Implement lessons and activities as directed by the teacher or classroom lead, including independent work, small-group instruction, special projects, and discrete trials
• Follow individualized behavioral supports and behavior intervention plans
• Assist students with classroom routines, transitions, and activities of daily living as needed
• Collect and document academic and behavioral data as directed by the classroom teacher
• Implement behavior strategies aligned with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
