What You'll Do:

- Collaborate with stakeholders, including school partners and practitioners, to evaluate the needs of students on your caseload, develop an intervention plan, and respond or revise the plan based on outcomes.

- Meet students where they are while maintaining high expectations. You'll identify, in partnership with parents, the skills students need and want in order to be successful in school and beyond.

- You set a high bar. The goals for your students (and yourself) are elevated because you know that when you set a high bar, students will meet it.

- You're a natural collaborator and partner-in-good. You see the greatness in others, always assume the best, and work with partners to bring out their best, particularly in moments of challenge.

- As a member of a thoughtfully growing team, you are hungry to exercise your keen sense of flexibility and customer service, no matter what the day throws your way.

- You're responsive. You offer what's needed: critical feedback, a high five, or a quick email.
