Applicants must hold an active Colorado Department of Education (CDE) license or credential and bring hands-on experience completing special education paperwork, specifically Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and related school documents—not just clinical or state-level forms.

• Background in school settings as a School Psychologist or School Social Worker
• Demonstrated experience handling special education paperwork, including IEPs (distinct from purely clinical or state documentation)
• Flexibility and ability to adapt quickly in a fast-paced educational environment
• Commitment to supporting students with diverse needs and fostering inclusive spaces

Responsibilities:

• Conduct assessments and participate in the IEP process, ensuring timely and compliant documentation
• Collaborate with educators, families, and multidisciplinary teams to develop appropriate interventions
• Support student mental health and behavioral needs through direct and consultative services
• Provide crisis intervention as needed
• Maintain clear, detailed records according to district and federal guidelines

Enjoy the opportunity to apply your expertise and make a difference—whether your background is in psychology or social work. If you meet these criteria and are ready for a rewarding short-term school-based role, submit your application today! Please ensure your last name is included and that your experience with special education paperwork is clearly outlined. We look forward to connecting with professionals ready to take on this meaningful challenge.
