We are seeking a highly collaborative and knowledgeable School Psychologist with a passion for supporting mental wellness and positive behavior supports. This position is designed for professionals who have experience with removing barriers to learning through systems-level consultation, behavior intervention support, and the promotion of mental wellness and positive behavior supports.

- Provide training and consultation around PBIS/MTSS frameworks and implementation across school tiers.
- Support schools in fostering environments that promote self-regulation and co-regulation.
- Collaborate with districts and early childhood programs to design and refine MTSS systems that are inclusive and responsive to student needs.
- Ensure practices align with special education law, IDEA compliance, and evidence-based approaches.
- Deliver high-quality professional development and coaching to school staff and leadership.
- Become a member of a team known for innovative, cutting edge service delivery and national-level recognition.
Qualifications
- Valid School Psychologist license or certification in Ohio.
- Demonstrated expertise in behavioral consultation, FBAs, BIPs, PBIS, and trauma-informed, restorative practices.
- Strong knowledge of special education law and its practical application.
- Experience supporting MTSS frameworks and conducting systems-level work.
- Skilled in facilitating meaningful collaboration between educators, administrators, and families.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative, solutions-oriented mindset.
What We Offer
- A unique opportunity to make an impact across multiple school communities through innovative, high-leverage consultation.
- A supportive, forward-thinking team environment with a national reputation for excellence.
- Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits.
- Continuous professional learning and leadership opportunities.
- Location: Montgomery County Educational Service Center – Regional Support
