Job Summary

The Center for Children and Families at Florida International University announces Summer Treatment Program positions for elementary-level regular and special education teachers, and for elementary-level art teachers. The Summer Treatment Program (STP) provides services to children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Conduct Disorder, Oppositional-Defiant Disorder, learning problems, and related behavior problems. The program provides treatment tailored to children\'s individual behavioral and learning difficulties.

The dates of employment for the Elementary Teacher position are Monday, June 8, 2026 through Saturday, August 1, 2026. Elementary Teacher hours of employment are 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday, with the addition of Saturday, August 2 (program wrap-up). Teachers may participate in additional meetings with parents and staff as necessary. The salary for this position is $10,000 for the summer. During the program, children are assigned to groups that remain constant for the duration of the program. Each academic teacher works with 2-3 groups, and art teachers work with all age groups in the STP-E. Each group consists of 10 to 15 children of similar age.

Responsibilities

Teachers implement an extensive behavior modification treatment program during classroom activities, including feedback and associated consequences for work productivity and classroom behavior, daily and weekly rewards for appropriate behavior, social praise and attention, appropriate commands, and age-appropriate removal from positive reinforcement. Teachers are responsible for recording, tracking, and entering daily records of children\'s classroom behavior and performance. Each teacher will supervise a classroom aide and will work under the supervision of experienced staff members, receiving regular feedback on performance.

In the STP-E, children participate in two daily academic periods with activities focused on arithmetic, reading, and language arts. The program aims to improve on-task behavior, adherence to directives, and appropriate classroom behavior, while providing grade-level work to avoid summer learning loss. Teachers determine children\'s appropriate work levels by reviewing previous records and providing preliminary work during the first week. Each week, teachers review performance and adjust to maintain an appropriate challenge. Some research may be conducted, and teachers are required to follow research protocols in classroom settings. Art teachers plan daily art projects that are age-appropriate, engaging, and instructional, with approximately 45 minutes of project time per day.

During the first week, elementary teachers participate in training activities. Training includes lectures, slide and video presentations, testing, and daily active role-plays. On the last day, teachers complete rating scales regarding progress and prepare summaries for final treatment reports.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications Bachelor\'s or higher in Education/Special Education, Psychology/Mental Health, Social Work, or related fields. Current teacher certification is required.
