SAIL Team Leader (Student Assistance in Learning)

Whitby School - Greenwich, CT
Full-time
Application Deadline: Oct 31, 2024
Teaching

Whitby is seeking an experienced special educator to lead our student support team. SAIL (Student Assistance in Learning) provides Whitby students with support services so that they are able to access and thrive in our accelerated curriculum.

Working directly with students in several grades and overseeing other SAIL teachers, the coordinator must be able to work well with students, parents and teachers to assess student needs, put supports into place and oversee the implementation of those supports. This position is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to spend more time working with people and less time fulfilling compliance and completing paperwork. As an independent school, we have great flexibility in meeting the needs of our students which provides a more enriching experience for everyone involved. 

The successful candidate will be highly collaborative and able to provide student-centered services. Significant experience in a school setting and a master's degree in special education or a related field are preferred. 

Interested candidates should send a resume and letter of interest to Jay Briar, Head of School, at [email protected].
