Ann Arbor Michigan - Special Ed Director job revised

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I had previously posted this job for the Special Education Director in

Ann Arbor, Michigan. They have revised it to an Administrator position

from Director, which in our school system is a higher level of

responsibility and also a higher salary, which is pretty good as you can

see below. If interested, please apply to address given at the bottom

of this email or through the website. Feel free to pass this along to

folks you feel would be qualified and interested.

As I indicated before, we have a very involved group of parents of

children with autism, and we would like to see someone who is pro-ABA

and intensive behavioral intervention, and understands research and

results-based instructional methodologies like PT, DI, etc. so that our

children can truly receive an appropriate education. We have just

started to get some ABA based programming for kids with autism into the

schools, and want to continue to build a good continuum of options for

them, both in inclusion and self-contained classrooms.
