Frequently Asked Questions
What is a special education teacher?
Special education teachers provide individualized instruction that helps students with disabilities succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. These educators support IEP goals and work alongside school teams to ensure students receive the accommodation and guidance needed to succeed in inclusive learning environments.
How do you find candidates for roles we haven’t been able to fill on our own?
If you’ve already exhausted the traditional routes, that’s exactly where Amergis Educational Staffing thrives.
Our network goes beyond job boards and active applicants. We’ve established relationships with credentialed educators who aren’t always visible in the open market. We do the sourcing, vetting, and matching, so your team doesn’t have to. The roles that feel impossible to fill are often the ones we’re best positioned to help with.
We have an immediate vacancy. Can you place someone while we conduct a permanent search?
Yes! This is one of the most common situations where we support schools.
An open role today doesn’t have to result in a gap in services while your hiring team works toward a permanent staffing solution. To keep the hiring process moving without any delays, we are constantly searching for high-quality professionals, regardless of the open position.
How do you handle placements for highly specialized roles like BCBAs or speech language pathologists?
These roles require a different level of precision, and we mean it. Board Certified Behavioral Analysts (BCBAs), Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs), and other low-incidence specialists are among the most difficult positions to fill in special education, and we’ve built our network with that reality in mind.
We don’t rely on a general candidate pool. Instead, we maintain relationships with credentialed specialists in these disciplines so that when your district needs them, we’re not starting from scratch.
“Districts often come to us looking to fill a position, but what they really need is a long-term staffing strategy. Specialized roles are too important to think about one hire at a time because they influence everything from student support to district operations. That’s why we help districts think beyond the immediate vacancy and focus on long-term coverage and continuity.” – Cathy Lolley-Leaver, Director of Related Services Operations
