You’ll be the go-to expert for running domain meetings, managing assessments, and ensuring smooth early intervention transitions.

• Experience conducting student evaluations (evaluations-focused caseload; completed 63 last year)
• Familiarity with Pre-K through 8th grade student needs
• Capable of running domain meetings and contributing to multidisciplinary teams
• Strong communication and organizational abilities
• Ability to oversee EI transition processes, including TPBA (17 cases managed last year)
• CPI training is not required, as this district role does not involve direct behavioral intervention

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and facilitate domain meetings
• Complete student evaluations as assigned
• Oversee Early Intervention transitions, including TPBA processes
• Participate in MTSS referral meetings for individual students as appropriate
• Collaborate within the district office, providing consultation and expertise as needed

This assignment runs from your ASAP start date through June 19th, 2027, with hours from 7:45 AM to 3:30 PM.
