Full Job Description

CONSULTANT

The State Education Resource Center (SERC) is seeking candidates for a full-time Consultant
position responsible for designing and implementing programming under the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The ideal candidate will have demonstrated knowledge and
expertise in school and district leadership, special education instruction, secondary transition, and
special education procedures and practices. The Consultant will also support additional SERC
initiatives and programs. This position reports directly to the Center Coordinator for CT School
Reform.

At SERC, our mission is grounded in a deep and unwavering commitment to equity and social
justice. We believe every student deserves access to educational opportunities that honor and reflect
their unique identities, abilities, and experiences. No matter a student's race, ethnicity, gender,
socioeconomic status, or background, we are dedicated to providing programs and services that
empower, uplift, and inspire them.

Through our resources, professional development offerings, and centralized library—core
components of our legislative responsibility—we work to dismantle systemic barriers and foster
environments built on compassion, accountability, and transformative change.

Our team members, in collaboration with the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE)
and partners in school districts and community organizations, support educators, service providers,
and families in strengthening their capacity to meet the diverse needs of all students.

If you are passionate about being part of a team that works to make education more equitable and
inclusive—and you value collaboration, innovation, and purpose—we would love to have you join
us.
