Summary:
Supervised by an Assistant Director of Student Services and collaboratively guided by a program support teacher and related services staff, a Cross Categorical Teacher will perform highly specialized work with students who receive special education services through Intensive Intervention Programming. The location of this specialized work is fluid based on student needs and can vary daily between school-based sites, community-based sites, and the Holtzman Learning Center. Cross Categorical Teachers may be assigned to support students in elementary, middle and high school. Hours of employment are 8am-4pm daily Monday through Friday, following the MMSD annual calendar.

• Our programs support students in developing and implementing self-advocacy skills to promote the autonomy to create goals for themselves and to engage in self-discovery to build a strengthened identity across various environments.
