Position Summary:

CiTi BOCES is seeking a New York State Certified Elementary (Childhood Education) Teacher to join our Elementary Behavioral Intervention Program serving students in grades 3-5, located at Volney Elementary School. This program is designed for students who require an intensively supportive, highly structured instructional environment to address social-emotional and behavioral needs while continuing to make academic progress in all core content areas. The goal of the program is to support students' successful re-entry into their home school through targeted behavioral intervention, explicit social-emotional instruction, and high-quality elementary academic instruction.

Program Description:

The Elementary Behavioral Intervention Program provides students with positive, structured opportunities to develop self-regulation, social-emotional skills, and academic competence. Instruction occurs in a self-contained classroom with low student-to-adult ratios, predictable routines, clear expectations, and proactive behavior supports. The program integrates strong counseling support, behavior intervention services, and explicit social skills instruction alongside standards-based elementary instruction in ELA, mathematics, science, and social studies. As students demonstrate consistent progress toward academic and behavioral goals, CiTi BOCES collaborates with the host district to gradually expand access to general education settings. Program staffing includes a CiTi administrator, a teacher assistant assigned to the classroom, and ongoing support from a counselor.
