Yellow Breeches Educational Center (YBEC) is a K-12 special education school that blends traditional academics with experiential and adventure-based learning. With small class sizes (6:1 in secondary, 4:1 in elementary), we provide personalized, hands-on instruction to support each student’s unique needs in an engaging, dynamic environment.

Are You an Out-of-the-Box Thinker?

We’re looking for creative, flexible educators who are eager to teach any core subject and engage students through interactive, real-world learning experiences. If you thrive in non-traditional classroom settings, enjoy the outdoors, and are hardworking, adaptable, and student-focused, we want to hear from you!

Key Responsibilities:

  • Innovative Teaching: Develop and deliver engaging, student-centered lesson plans in any core subject area (Math, Science, English, Social Studies, etc.).
  • Flexible & Cross-Disciplinary Approach: Collaborate with fellow educators to design interdisciplinary, project-based learning experiences.
  • Experiential Learning: Plan and lead weekly hands-on learning activities, field trips, career exploration experiences, college tours, and life skills development.
  • Adventure-Based Education: Partner with our Adventure Teacher to facilitate weekly outdoor experiences such as mountain biking, rock climbing, kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding (SUPing), hiking, and more!
  • Annual Experiential Camping Trip: Assist in organizing and participating in a week-long outdoor adventure trip that builds resilience, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Bachelor’s Degree required (must be eligible for teacher certification).
  • Ability to teach multiple subjects and adjust instruction based on student needs.
  • A creative, outside-the-box thinker who enjoys hands-on and student-driven learning.
  • Strong work ethic with a commitment to student success.
  • Experience working with youth—especially in non-traditional, experiential, or outdoor settings—is highly preferred.
  • A passion for adventure, experiential education, and innovative teaching methods.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary and benefits
  • A flexible, dynamic teaching environment
  • Small class sizes for individualized instruction
  • A collaborative, supportive team dedicated to student success
