Temporary Teacher - Various Credentials Needed

We are currently seeking temporary teachers to join our dynamic programs at ACCESS and Special Education – Connections programs. The OCDE ACCESS, a WASC-accredited program, serves students from Transitional Kindergarten (TK) to adults in Orange County, offering unique educational opportunities that focus on both academic and socio-emotional development through a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS). By working closely with local districts, ACCESS provides alternative pathways to prepare students for success in college and careers. The OCDE Special Education Services Division operates Connections - Empowering Every Learner, which serves students with significant disabilities, emotional disturbances, and those who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) across 48 classes on 13 different sites in Orange County. Referred by their district of residence, students receive individualized educational programs tailored to meet their unique needs. Connections provide a low student-to-staff ratio in structured classroom settings, offering a curriculum aligned with California State Standards.
