Who we are:

Alpha Public Schools is a public charter school network of four schools educating approximately 1,900 scholars in east San Jose. Guided by the belief that our students belong in college, we ensure safe, inclusive, and student-centered learning environments to help our students thrive. What sets us apart is the very thing that makes us who we are- our community. Alpha was founded by a group of mothers on the eastside of San Jose who sought better educational opportunities for their students. We maintain a strong connection to our community and engage families in a collaborative approach to offer a holistic education to our students.

A successful School Psychologist:

* Stay organized in a dynamic and ever-changing environment, with attention to timing and detail, especially in regards to legal timelines for assessments
* Collaborate with families, special education teachers, and general education teachers to ensure psychoeducational reports present a holistic picture of student needs
* Serve as the gate-keeper of special education referrals, and make decisions on which intervention path is best for individual students
* Engage with families around the special education pre-referral and referral process, as well as effectively articulate decisions that are made based on evaluations

What we offer:

At Alpha we care deeply about our scholars and staff. To support our team (and hopefully you) we offer:

* Competitive salary commensurate with experience. The start rate for this role is $87,776 and goes up based on experience.
* Health benefits plans for medical, vision, and dental insurance coverage for staff and their families

* Generous paternity/maternity leave benefits including 4 weeks of paid parental leave in addition to the state and federal leave allowances
* Employee Assistance Program that provides access to professional services for workplace, life, and wellbeing support and services
* Relocation assistance for teammates moving from 250+ miles away

You possess…

* Valid California Pupil Personnel Services Credential with authorization in School Psychology
* 1-5 years working as a school psychologist (or school psychologist intern/psychological assistant), preferably in urban schools
* Master's Degree (MA/MS) in School Psychology or Educational Psychology
* A strong commitment not only to our students, but also to your own continuous professional development. You possess the ability to receive and implement feedback quickly.
