Special Education Instructional Manager

About the role

Company Summary Learning Network is a growing, innovative, and customer-centric educational services company. We seek creative and tenacious individuals to help us drive success through service. Service is very important to us. At Learning Network, you will be among people who care about their customers and colleagues. We prioritize service by ensuring the details are done and done well - every time. We make promises, and we keep those promises. We recognize that our customers and employees don't have to choose us. As such, service is embedded deep within our culture - and providing white-glove service is an expectation of every employee. At Learning Network, you'll be a part of something special. You'll sleep better knowing you make a difference by bringing the most innovative education to thousands of students. You'll do this amongst a supportive community of people who care. In return, you'll care. You'll show you care by being teachable, doing your job well, and valuing the relationships with your colleagues. You'll achieve your goals and play nicely in the sandbox with others while doing it. We don't do drama, and neither should you. Working at Learning Network isn't for everyone. But for those who choose to commit to hard work, service, students, and colleagues, it's an incredibly rewarding experience. Impact & Why This Matters In a world where too many students with unique learning needs are misunderstood, underserved, or defined by limitations rather than possibility, exceptional leadership can change everything. When Special Education teams are deeply supported, highly developed, and relentlessly focused on each learner, students gain more than services-they gain confidence, belonging, meaningful progress, and a clearer path toward the future they deserve. As a Special Education Instructional Manager, you will multiply impact through people. You will coach, develop, and elevate a team of Special Education teachers whose daily work helps students build confidence, make meaningful progress, and realize what is possible for their futures. Your leadership will ensure students are not only supported compliantly-but served compassionately, challenged thoughtfully, and championed relentlessly. This is legacy-building leadership in the digital age: creating systems, coaching people, and building cultures that help extraordinary educators unlock extraordinary student outcomes. Purpose You will be the force that builds strong Special Education teachers into exceptional ones. Through coaching, accountability, encouragement, and unwavering standards, you will cultivate a team that delivers white-glove, heart-centered support to students and families-while maintaining the rigor, compliance, responsiveness, and instructional excellence students deserve. You will build clarity where there is complexity, momentum where there is hesitance, and confidence where there is uncertainty-ensuring all teachers feel supported, students feel seen, and opportunity for growth is amplified. Role Overview This is a deeply people-centered leadership role where your impact is measured through the growth, consistency, and excellence of the educators you lead-and ultimately through improved student engagement, retention, progress, and confidence. You will lead Special Education teachers and paraprofessionals serving students in an online K-12 environment, ensuring they consistently deliver exceptional instruction, proactive outreach, compliant services, and meaningful family partnership. Your success requires extreme ownership, strong judgment, joyful persistence, and relentless follow-through. You must be equally comfortable coaching performance, navigating escalations, improving systems, and holding high standards-always with empathy, clarity, and conviction. When you lead well, teachers grow stronger, families feel supported, and students thrive. Core Responsibilities Coach and develop Special Education educators into confident, highly effective professionals who embody our standards of service, responsiveness, and instructional excellence. Monitor team-level student engagement, progress, retention, and intervention data-identifying trends early and mobilizing effective support before students fall behind. Observe instruction, assess teacher effectiveness, and provide clear, actionable coaching that sharpens delivery, strengthens relationships, and improves student outcomes. Lead with precision in IEP development, implementation, progress monitoring, and meeting execution-ensuring legal compliance while never losing sight of the human being behind every plan. Set high expectations, coach candidly, celebrate wins enthusiastically, and foster a team culture rooted in ownership, humility, collaboration, and service. Essential Duties Serve students, families, and colleagues with genuine professionalism, integrity, humility, and a white-glove mindset that makes every interaction feel personal and uplifting. Le
