Job Purpose The Intervention Specialist works closely with the school Principal, Teaching Staff, Office & Auxiliary Staff Staff and Director of Special Education to support and build a foundation for learning.

The majority of Career Prep students need to recover credit or are at risk of dropping out, therefore, the Intervention Specialist's first responsibility is to build strong relationships and encourage daily attendance through engaging instruction.
