  • Expertly navigate and mediate team conflicts or professional improvement opportunities for staff, where relevant.
  • Co-plan and attend events, field trips, and other activities, including some evening and/or weekend events.
  • Build and manage highly effective relationships with the principal, teachers and parents to discuss individual student progress and ways to better meet the needs of the students and school.
  • Participate regularly in school meetings, including but not limited to weekly content or student support meetings, student-specific meetings such as IEP meetings, the Instructional Leadership Team, school wide assessment reflection sessions, and professional development sessions.
