Lead, Special Education Operations
Success Academies has a profoundly innovative schooling model that achieves outstanding results at scale, and our approach to children with Special Education services is just as radical. We begin with the core belief that disability does not mean an inability, that no child should be written off because of learning differences. Fifteen percent of our scholars receive Special Education support, and we designed and launched the Sprint program to ensure we provide these scholars with an outstanding education. While the identification of scholars in need of Special Education supports and the execution of the necessary interventions are carried out at the school-level, a supporting Network capability has shared responsibility and accountability for these scholars.
Reporting directly to the Head of Sprint, this role is responsible for leading and scaling high-impact Sprint operations across all schools. Success in this position requires both exceptional leadership and technical expertise in special education. The Lead will directly manage a team of 8 Scholar Services Managers and indirectly support over 120 school-based Sprint staff. This leader will be charged with driving performance, resolving complex challenges involving external stakeholders, and ensuring our most vulnerable scholars receive the comprehensive support they need to thrive.
