The leader models best practices, provides rigorous feedback, ensures strict adherence to IEP compliance and IDEA regulations, and supports tiered interventions across general and special education settings.

Key Responsibilities

Instructional Leadership, Modeling, and MTSS Support

• Evidence-Based Practices: Lead the transition from simple accommodations to meaningful, data-driven modifications, research-based strategies, and tiered interventions.
• MTSS Leadership: Support and monitor Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III instructional and intervention practices across the school to ensure fidelity of implementation.
• Mentorship: Provide direct coaching and mentorship to teachers to improve instructional delivery, intervention practices, and implementation of HLPs.

Coaching, Feedback, and Professional Development

• Observation and Feedback: Conduct weekly observation and feedback meetings driven by the instructional cycle, MTSS data, and performance data.
• Actionable Goals: Assign specific action steps and weekly goals to teachers aligned to student performance targets and intervention plans.
• Documentation: Record all coaching actions including meeting scripts, informal observations, reteach plans, and MTSS action steps in Grow Level Data.
• PD Facilitation: Create and lead department and school-wide PD sessions and clinics based on identified trends in performance and intervention data.
• Leadership Training: Attend and successfully complete the "Want More? Do More." instructional leadership cohort training.

Data-Driven Decision Making, MTSS Oversight, and Compliance

• Data Analysis: Conduct and lead data analysis sessions after each major assessment round and at the conclusion of every six-week intervention cycle to effectively respond to student performance data and adjust instruction and interventions accordingly.
• Data Meetings: Lead weekly data meetings by grade level and subject to analyze student performance, intervention effectiveness, and adjust instruction.
• MTSS Monitoring: Track student progress across tiers and ensure appropriate movement between intervention levels based on data.
• Compliance Oversight: Ensure absolute adherence to state (NCDPI) and federal (IDEA) policies, specifically focusing on IEP compliance.
• Monitoring Programs: Use student performance data to plan, implement, and evaluate special education and intervention programs according to Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) standards.
• Weekly Huddles: Host a weekly huddle to review goals, showcase assessment data (power rankings), and share school-specific updates.

Collaboration and Strategic Planning

• Inclusive Practices: Facilitate active collaboration between special education and general education teachers to strengthen Tier I instruction, support inclusion, and reduce unnecessary pull-out services.
• Vertical Alignment: Lead weekly department meetings to ensure vertical alignment and discuss data and intervention trends across the department.
• Co-Observations: Complete co-observations with school-level and district-level instructional leaders to ensure coaching consistency.
• Professional Goal Setting: Conduct quarterly check-in meetings with teachers to reflect on progress and create new professional and instructional goals.

Qualifications

• Licensure: Valid NC Continuing Teaching License; advanced (sixth-year) licensure in special education or school administration preferred.
• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of teaching experience with demonstrated instructional leadership and expertise in curriculum, intervention design, and MTSS implementation.
• Competencies: Strong data analysis skills, proficiency in educational technology and data systems (e.g., Whetstone, Grow Level), deep knowledge of MTSS frameworks, and excellent interpersonal communication skills.
