Key Qualifications:

• Valid Illinois Professional Educator License (PEL) with School Psychologist endorsement; pending licensure is accepted for travel professionals
• School psychologist experience in educational settings, preferably with Pre-K through 8th grade populations
• Strong collaborative and communication skills for leading meetings and working with multidisciplinary teams
• Comfort with evaluation procedures and familiarity with EI transitions and TPBA processes
• CPI training is not required for this position, as the work is district-office based

• Run and facilitate domain meetings and MTSS referral discussions when necessary
• Oversee Early Intervention transition process, including total participation-based assessments (TPBA)
