Why Join This Team?

If you want to work hard, aspire to do a great job, and appreciate being surrounded by colleagues who feel the same, this is the perfect place for you. This school is about results, support, and teamwork.

With a student body that is 2/3 dual language, the school is incredibly supportive of its diverse community and committed to meeting the unique needs of every student. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact on their long-term academic and personal success — and you’ll do so in an environment that values your expertise and contributions every step of the way.

Skills and Experience

You’ll need to hit the ground running with a passion for working with younger children on speech and language skills. The school is approximately 2/3 dual-language students, so it’s critical to have the expertise to distinguish between language barrier and speech/articulation delays. (Bilingual skills would be a bonus but are not required.)

Your skill set should include experience in:

• Speech and Language Development

• Articulation and Phonology

• Pragmatics and Early Literacy Support

• Identifying speech vs. language-based needs

First-Day Experience and Onboarding

Your first day will involve a dedicated onboarding process where the Special Education Administrator will:

• Review access and logins for school systems

• Provide an overview of processes and expectations

• Help you get familiar with the school, its layout, and the schedule

• Ensure you feel confident and ready to support students successfully

A Typical Week

Your primary focus will be early-intervention with Kindergarten and 1st grade students, identifying those who need speech therapy versus language support.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Conducting speech/language screenings and therapy sessions

• Supporting students in articulation, phonology, language development, pragmatics, fluency, and play-based early literacy

• Providing therapy to students with higher needs in 2nd–5th grade as needed, especially those in self-contained or resource special education classes

• Completing IEP reviews and writing SLP goals and progress updates

• Building relationships with students, parents, and team members

School Culture

This is a diverse, welcoming school where staff care deeply about their students and their coworkers. Everyone is committed to working hard to support student success and embraces a collaborative, team-centered culture.
