Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At The Walker School, we believe every student deserves to be seen, supported, and challenged to reach their fullest potential. We are seeking a passionate, student-centered Middle School Learning Specialist who is energized by working with neurodiverse learners and thrives in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.

This is more than a support role, it is an opportunity to serve as an advocate, coach, and strategist, helping students build confidence, independence, and the skills they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

Why This Role Stands Out

You will join a deeply collaborative community where learning support is not separate, it is integrated into the fabric of teaching and learning. You will work alongside talented educators, engaged families, and a dedicated student support team to design meaningful, personalized pathways for student success.

What You Will Do

• Design and implement individualized accommodation plans based on psychoeducational evaluations
• Coach students in executive functioning, organization, and academic strategies
• Partner with faculty to support implementation of accommodations
• Collaborate with families and student support teams
• Contribute to Applied Strategies instruction and student assessments
• Support admissions review for incoming students

Who You Are

• Student-centered, collaborative, and growth-minded
• Experienced in supporting neurodiverse learners
• Strong communicator and instructional partner to faculty
• Committed to inclusive and equitable learning environments

What You Bring

• Master’s degree or higher in Special Education or a related field
• Minimum of three years of relevant experience
• Expertise in assessment, intervention, and executive functioning support
