Your resume must clearly describe your relevant experience; if qualifying based on education, your transcripts will be required as part of your application.

In addition to meeting the basic requirement above, to qualify for this position you must also meet the qualification requirements listed below: Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience which includes serving as an above-school-level subject matter expert on assessment policies for special populations (e.g., Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Section 504, multilingual learners), ensuring the selection and use of appropriate and aligned alternative assessments for students with disabilities, overseeing test administration/coordination, applying policies regarding testing accommodations, analyzing disaggregated assessment data to identify achievement gaps, and providing training to educators and administrators on assessment accommodations, accessibility tools, and/or test administration protocols.
