About the Role

You will be the architect of each student's educational journey, working closely with regular education staff, parents, and administrators to diagnose needs, structure IEPs, and communicate progress. Your day involves adapting course content to specific skill levels, designing reinforcement activities, and managing classroom dynamics to create a supportive environment where every student can succeed.
