Job Class or Position: Special Education Teacher
The Education Specialist Position has been filled.
The Bridge School intends to apply for a limited assignment special education permit in Extensive Support Needs for Julienne Sumodobila. After an extensive search for a special education teacher with an Extensive Support Needs credential- including multiple job postings across different platforms, recruitment agency, discussion with SFSU and SJSU credential program, attempts to contact other credential programs, and job fair- The Bridge School is unable to hire a teacher with the Extensive Support Needs credential. Julienne Sumodobila completed her student teaching at The Bridge School and has a credential in Early Childhood Special Education. Julienne intends to complete coursework to qualify for an Extensive Support Needs credential. Given Julienne’s familiarity and experience working with students at The Bridge School we feel this is the best fit for the education, communication, and health needs of our students.
