Winston Preparatory School is seeking a full-time Specialist to join our Focus Program at our Whippany, NJ campus. This role involves working in our 1:1 skill remediation program, providing individualized remediation to students with learning differences. We are looking for candidates who are passionate, driven, and committed to lifelong learning. Ideal candidates include reading specialists, speech-language pathologists, learning specialists, or special educators. While prior experience is preferred, we welcome highly motivated recent graduates and are open to speech-language pathologists who need to complete their Clinical Fellowship (CF) to earn their CCCs. The successful candidate will be an excellent communicator, a collaborative team member, and possess strong writing skills. This is an opportunity for someone eager to make a meaningful impact on students and their families. Below is a brief description of our school, but for more information about our school, mission, and student population, please visit www.winstonprep.edu.
Winston Preparatory School is a co-ed day school for 3rd through 12th grade students with learning differences, such as dyslexia, nonverbal learning disabilities, expressive or receptive language disorders, and executive functioning deficits. Our mission is to facilitate the independence of individuals with learning difficulties through assessment-driven individualized education, research and outreach.
Founded in 1981, Winston Preparatory School is a network of eight campuses, both physical and virtual, for students ages 8-21+ with learning differences such as dyslexia, executive functioning difficulties (ADHD), and nonverbal learning disorder (NVLD). Our model is based on an in-depth understanding of each student, which results in grouping by learning profile and precisely designed programming. Winston Prep accomplishes this through its Continuous Feedback System. Our expert faculty continually assess how a student is responding to their skill development plan and adjust our teaching approach based on that. Students also participate in a daily one-to-one session called Focus, designed to serve as the diagnostic, instructional, and mentoring centerpiece of their experience. At the high school level, students with appropriate levels of skill mastery may participate in college courses. For students ages 17-21+ needing more time to prepare for life beyond high school, Winston Transitions offers programming that is individually tailored to meet academic, social-emotional, employability, and life skills. Our Winston Online campus offers flexible and engaging program options for students across the country and overseas.
