• Write and implement IEPs, functional goals, and tailored post-secondary transition plans
• Foster skill acquisition that fully prepares students for success beyond high school

This role offers the chance to design engaging, individualized learning experiences and watch your students thrive. If you’re ready to step into a leadership role within a dedicated Life Skills classroom, this is your moment.
