San Carlos Charter (SCC), a progressive K-8 public charter school located in San Carlos, is seeking a Paraeducator/Learner Inclusion Support person for the 2025-2026 school year. The SCC curriculum is based on current research about learning and the grouping of students (learners). All instruction is based on constructivist learning and multiple intelligence theory, so children are engaged in hands-on, minds-on learning every day. Curriculum is created by our educators and is structured around interdisciplinary units. We are resource-based (no textbooks) and instructional practices promote learning in multi-age classroom settings with two or more grade levels of learners in one classroom. We also encourage all learners to identify and work within their strengths and weaknesses. The SCC is its own Local Education Agency (LEA). Within the guidelines of federal and state IDEA law, we are committed to ensure the right to a free appropriate public education. Through teamwork and communication our goal is to nurture and support children, families, and staff. We strive to create inclusive, effective, and meaningful learning opportunities for each SCC child.
