Special Education Teacher Expert

Special education teachers to build the IEP and intervention scenarios frontier AI labs use to test model judgment. AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring special education teachers as contractors to author and grade the IEP and intervention scenarios those evaluations run on. Contract and pay $40 to $70/hr, paid weekly via Stripe. Your rate is set from your experience, not negotiated down after you start.

What you'll actually do: Author realistic special education scenarios from evaluation through IEP implementation. Write reference answers with the legal and instructional reasoning behind each decision. Grade model output for compliance and appropriateness for the student. Flag advice that reads compliant but fails the student.

Who this is for: Special education certification or license, or an equivalent credential. 2+ years of teaching in special education settings. Depth in IEP development, accommodations, and differentiated instruction. You can write instructional reasoning clearly enough for another teacher to follow it.
