Lead Therapeutic Instructors (Lead TIs)
Each classroom, or program, is supported by a Lead Therapeutic Instructor. These are salaried employees that provide direct one-on-one service and spend additional time focusing on data collection and the provision of support for the Special Education Teacher or Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) that manages the classroom or program that they work within. In addition to the TI training, Spectra Lead TIs hold a Substitute Teaching License, which provides the opportunity for shared teaching, when needed.
​
Many possible career advancements include working toward a licensed position, (e.g. teacher or clinician / related service provider) through advanced university courses, supervision and fieldwork hours.

Special Education Teacher
Each classroom at Spectra School has at its helm a Special Education Teacher. Our teachers have salaried, year-round positions within classrooms of no larger than 12 students and supervision responsibilities of the Therapeutic Instructors (paras). Spectra teachers are part of a dynamic team of educators and related service providers who carry out the Interdisciplinary Intervention Model. Students come from many different school districts with diverse backgrounds, different learning needs and a variety of disabilities. Preference is given to CDE licensed Special Education teachers but those in alternative licensure programs or in university special education teaching programs are welcome to apply. Practicum and student teaching opportunities are offered based upon availability.
