Purpose Statement
Across our schools, we currently serve the needs of over 1,700 students who have been identified with special needs that require particular time and attention from our educational support teams. As our student population continues to grow, we look for candidates who are eager and excited to work with all of our students across all classrooms. Successful candidates should be enthusiastic, caring, and committed to the success of our students. Our Special Education Tutors are specifically hired as a part of an individual student's support team that has been created by the Special Education and Related Services teams, in order to provide the best educational outcomes for these students who come with a wide assortment of needs. Our Tutors are assigned to a small group of students, often 2 or 3 and sometimes 1 student, in order to support the work of the teacher in the classroom. Our Tutors must be able to follow specific instructions from our teachers, while applying great attention to confidentiality, and must exercise discretion with students, colleagues and families or caregivers.
