Desired Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Social Work (MSW)
• Valid school social worker certification
• Experience working with elementary-aged students, ideally in an ED or specialized program

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and monitor behavior intervention strategies in collaboration with teaching staff
• Participate in IEP meetings, team conferences, and family consultations as appropriate
• Provide social-emotional learning support and evaluate student progress
• Maintain detailed records and documentation according to school policies
