  • Participate in IEP meetings, student support team meetings, and ongoing professional development
  • Maintain accurate records and ensure adherence to state and federal regulations

Expect more from your next role—with competitive hourly pay, comprehensive health benefits covering medical, dental, and vision, and weekly paychecks. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with W-2 employment and a 401(k) plan with matching to support your future.
