HAMTRAMCK, Mich. \u2013 Hamtramck Public Schools is looking for dedicated Special Education Teachers for the district, and they\u2019re willing to pay extra for it.<\/p>\n
Coming from the partnership between the Hamtramck Public Schools District and the Hamtramck Federation of Teachers, HPS is willing to offer a $15,000 annual bonus for five years of employment with Hamtramck Public Schools as a Special Education instructor.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn order to fill vacant special education instructional positions (Autism Spectrum Categorical Classrooms) and related service positions (school psychologist, school social worker, and speech pathologist), as well as to recruit additional staff to enhance the services in the district\u2019s Special Education Department, HPS is committed to offering signing bonus pay up to $15,000 on a recurring annual basis for up to five years,\u201d reads a press release from Hamtramck Public Schools.<\/p>\n
Of course, it\u2019s not quite as simple as just that. HPS says that teachers or student teachers will need to successfully complete a program that offers an Autism Endorsement to add to their teaching license, among other requirements:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe primary goal for entering a memorandum of understanding is to ensure our students continue to receive high-quality education so they may succeed and transform the future,\u201d said Superintendent Nabil Nagi. \u201cWe hope passionate and compassionate educators apply for the open positions and take advantage of the opportunity to advance their own education.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Special Education Department at Hamtramck Public Schools serves students aged 3 to 26 who have been evaluated to need intervention.<\/p>\n
