The Learning Specialist will work with upper school students to ensure they meet grade-level standards, partner with families to share supports and next steps for their child and collaborate with teachers on implementing strategies for differentiated instruction in the classroom. Developing strong partnerships is the core of their work; the Learning Specialist plays an essential role in providing education and guidance to students, parents, and teachers about various ways that different students learn and strategies to help them be successful.

  • Responsible for writing new accommodation plans as well as updating existing plans.
  • Provide professional learning opportunities to faculty by way of PDs, in-house presentations or shared resources that align with schools mission and philosophy on supporting all learners.
  • Allocates time in the summer to work with returning students and families through the renewal process for expired plans as well as new families to Cranbrook to ensure plans are in place before the start of the school year.
  • Partner with testing center to facilitate accommodations for standardized testing including managing requests and necessary documentation and maintaining open lines of communication regarding important testing dates.
  • Maintain clear and open communication with students, families, and colleagues within your division as well as cross-divisionally.
  • Works closely with Upper School Leadership, Pre-K12 Intervention team & Assistant Director of Schools.
  • Maintain attendance, punctuality, and performance standards set forth in Cranbrook's employee handbook.
