Opening for September 2025Speech Language Pathologist0.8 FTEChestnut Street/Secondary School Do you believe that communication is the foundation of learning, confidence, and connection? Do you thrive when helping students find their voice—literally and figuratively—while building the speech, language, and social communication skills needed for lifelong success?We’re looking for a Speech-Language Pathologist who brings compassion, creativity, and evidence-based strategies to their practice. You understand that speech-language support isn’t just about correcting sounds or sentence structure—it’s about unlocking a student’s potential to engage, participate, and thrive. Whether you're supporting a student with articulation challenges, providing social communication strategies, or helping a student access their academic content through AAC, you make every interaction meaningful and personalized.You light up when a student clearly expresses their thoughts for the first time, when they use a communication device to engage in class, or when their confidence blossoms because they know their voice matters. You understand that communication development is a journey—and you’re ready to walk alongside each student with care and skill.If you're passionate about equity, committed to fostering inclusive communication practices, and eager to join a district where every student’s voice is valued and supported, we want you to join the RamFam. If you are interested, here is what year one is all about. This opportunity is not just theoretical for a Speech Language Pathologist– it will be a reality. Becoming a member of the RamFam will allow you to create the conditions for students to be in a state of imbalance and then provide the feedback necessary to transform learning. We also want a pathologist whohas a deep understanding of speech and language development, communication disorders, and evidence-based intervention strategies.can guide learning to surface and deep outcomes.can successfully monitor learning and provide feedback that assists students in progress.can attend to more attitudinal attributes of learning (i.e., self-efficacy, mastery motivation).can provide defensible evidence of the positive impacts of therapy on student learning.Realistically, we need someone with the proper certifications. However, you need to understand the content being taught or utilize our vast professional development opportunities to hone your craft. You will be expected to be able to provide feedback that advances student learning. The successful candidate will naturally attend to the social-emotional component of learning and discuss why speech-language "moves" have or have not worked. While this is all about year one and beyond, day one is good, too. There are things like compensation, the district, the staff, and the location. However, none of this matters unless "Year One and Beyond" makes career sense for you. Desired Skills and ExperienceIf you can support students in finding and strengthening their voices, you have what it takes. We’re looking for someone who can foster an environment of communication growth, academic access, and belonging. You’ll be expected to provide high-quality, individualized therapy that supports language development, social communication, and student confidence. If this work resonates with you, you likely already know why it matters. And if you're still discovering your path but are committed to learning and growing—let’s talk.
