A culture of creativity, entrepreneurship and deep collaboration. State-of-the-art technology throughout. Brilliant colleagues, with widely diverse experience, creating a unique educational experience together. There is no place quite like Avenues.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Avenues is seeking a Part-Time Speech-Language Pathologist (3 days per week) to join our  Student Success Team (SST). In this unique role, the Speech-Language Pathologist partners with teachers, families, and SST colleagues to support students’ communication development through observation, screening, classroom-based strategies, and early intervention within a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework.

This position focuses primarily on consultation, screening, and classroom-based support rather than maintaining a traditional therapy caseload. The Speech-Language Pathologist plays an important role in helping teachers create communication-supportive classrooms and in identifying students who may benefit from additional support.

Student Support

• Conduct classroom observations and informal screenings to better understand students’ communication skills.
• Share findings and practical recommendations with teachers and caregivers.
• Identify classroom and home strategies that support communication development and monitor student progress.
• Participate in regular student-focused meetings to discuss student needs and plan supports.

Collaboration​​​​​​​

• Work in partnership with other members of the Student Success Team, classroom teachers, and divisional leadership to ensure that each student's academic skills are progressing.
• When needed, offer referrals for targeted services as well as liaise with outside providers. 
• Collaborate with teachers and members of SST to provide TIER 1 interventions within the classroom.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Wide range of knowledge with more than 5 years of experience with preschool and school-aged children.
• Understanding of multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) to address speech and language needs, including articulation, voice, fluency and receptive/expressive language in the classroom. 
• Commitment to supporting students’ wellbeing and inclusive learning environments.
• Highly effective collaborator, eager to listen deeply, contribute to a team and achieve goals together.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with teachers, families, and interdisciplinary teams.
• Very resourceful and adaptive, eager to embrace constant change, growth and learning.
• Current NYS licensure and ASHA certification. 

If hired for this position, the annual salary range is between $70,000 - $120,000. The salary may vary depending on your professional experience and skills. The final salary offered will be prorated to reflect a part-time schedule. Competitive benefits for benefits eligible roles include medical, dental, life insurance, 401K savings plan, generous paid time off, family forming benefits, health and wellness benefits and more.
