Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our network includes a wide range of roles across the educational landscape. Schools may seek specialists with backgrounds in special education, school psychology, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, counseling, reading, social-emotional learning, and assistive technology. Just as often, they look for strong general or content-area teachers, from elementary through high school, who are eager to learn how to support neurodiverse learners and grow through professional development. Above all, schools value deep subject knowledge, openness to new strategies, and a genuine commitment to meeting students where they are.

  • Requirements vary widely by school and position. Some independent schools require state certification before you begin, others expect you to pursue certification after hiring (often with financial support) while many prioritize teaching skill, content expertise, and fit over credentials altogether. During our intake conversation, we’ll review your current qualifications and help identify opportunities that align with your certification status and goals.

  • Nothing. Schools pay our fees, never candidates. You get full access to our network, personalized career guidance, interview preparation, and negotiation support at zero cost to you.

  • Mid-year openings are less common but do arise due to leaves, unexpected departures, enrollment growth, or newly funded roles, and we often hear about them before they’re publicly posted. While the pool is smaller, we’ll actively look for opportunities and can expand your options if you’re flexible on location, grade level, or role.

  • Never. We'd rather you turn down a bad fit than accept a position you'll leave in six months. Trust your gut. If something feels off during the interview, the administrator's philosophy doesn't align with yours, the resources seem inadequate, the culture feels wrong, tell us. We'll debrief, understand what didn't work, and adjust the search. Your candid feedback makes us better at our job.

  • Absolutely. We provide interview preparation tailored to neurodiversity-focused roles, including common questions, discussing your teaching philosophy, and identifying thoughtful questions to ask schools. Through practice interviews and feedback, we help you feel confident and clearly articulate what you already do well, without scripting or changing who you are.
