  • Attend regional and departmental meetings.
  • Complete compliance tasks such as daily progress notes, weekly documentation of services rendered, quarterly reports of student achievement (IEP report cards), and monthly caseload statistics.
  • Exhibit strong oral and written communication skills, effective interpersonal skills, and demonstrate sound professional judgment, particularly in interactions with administration, colleagues, families, and students.
  • Prioritize student safety through consistent application of the Student Code of Conduct and school-wide management and discipline systems.
  • Customize student supports through innovative use of curriculum supplements and technology resources as available.
  • Advocate for the district's vision and commit to the district's core themes of equity, cultural competence, high expectations, developmental appropriateness, attention to individual students (including those with special needs), appropriate technology use, and student accountability.
