A message to talented and dedicated Special Educators looking to make a change:

Have you been working to the point of exhaustion during COVID? Are the demands of
teaching large, diverse classes with not enough support leaving you feeling frustrated
and disillusioned? Are you thinking about making a change and looking for your next
adventure?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, keep reading.

At Sulam, a special education inclusion program in Rockville, Maryland, we pride
ourselves on being a family-oriented workplace that encourages a work-life balance.
Our team of educators have a vested interest in each child as well as in each other. We
are small enough that your work results in visible progress and the connections you
build make notable differences. We encourage and celebrate curiosity,
open-mindedness, and a growth-mindset.

Join our team to be reminded why you originally went into special education: to make a
difference in the lives of children with disabilities and their families; to work in a
collaborative and supportive environment where your personal growth is a priority.
