We are a highly inclusive school and serve children with significant emotional/behavioral (mental health and trauma), social, and learning needs. We need staff members who are resilient, flexible, and creative problem solvers. Our staff stays strong for children, see their potential and gifts, and do not judge them for their disabilities. We believe that we have been given a tremendous opportunity to give classical education to all children. Agamim's Special Education Teachers are regarded as leaders who model empathy, joyfulness, and instructional best practices for our entire team. Our special education program must ensure that our most vulnerable children receive the best classical education programming (including accommodations and modifications), the greatest level of teaching the children to work smarter and not just harder, and the skills to cope through challenges and to build an enduring work ethic.
