We are seeking an exceptional, highly-agile site coordinator, to manage daily classroom site operations and spearhead instruction within our high-acuity embedded program lines.
You will operate as a clinical partner in residence inside existing school district buildings, holding a unique hybrid footprint. You will manage daily operations at specific contracted classroom sites, support on-site teaching teams, and navigate real-time logistical hurdles and student concerns to ensure every diverse learner thrives in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE).
Core Responsibilities
On-Site Operational Management - You will oversee the day-to-day coordination, logistics, and programmatic functionality of assigned contracted classroom pods within a district host school.
Instructional Leadership - You will deliver medically sound, highly differentiated instruction aligned to PA Core Standards using high-leverage frameworks like Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
Staff Coaching and Fidelity Tracking- You will mentor and coach on-site teachers, behavioral health workers, and paraprofessionals, and guide teams to effectively leverage student behavior and intervention fidelity charts to problem-solve in real-time.
Host School Collaboration- You will serve as the primary dynamic liaison to the host school's principal and staff, synchronizing your team with host school schedules, community events, safety lock-downs, and common area protocols to cultivate true inclusion.
Digital Integration and Reporting- You will manage real-time data integrity by recording student attendance, progress monitoring tracking parameters, and behavioral metrics directly into Infinite Campus and EasyIEP platforms.
Crisis Minimization- You will train parents and instructional staff in evidence-based Positive Behavior Support (PBS) strategies to optimize behavior management and lower regional reliance on restrictive interventions.
Position Qualifications
Must hold a valid Pennsylvania Special Education PK-12 Instructional I or II standalone certificate. Candidates possessing additional administrative credentials (such as a PA PK-12 Principal I/II endorsement) are highly preferred.
Proven track record in early childhood or secondary special education teaching positions, classroom management, and behavior support systems. Experiential background working in high-stress, trauma-impacted, or low-income Title One urban schools is deeply valued.
Strong functional competency in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles, curriculum modification, task analysis data systems, and trauma-informed milieu techniques.
Highly developed communication, dispute resolution, and time-management skills required to orchestrate cross-disciplinary collaboration with Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), therapists, and family groups.
