Support projects related to the education of students with disabilities, with emphasis on state education agencies and special education systems-level work.
Assist with reviewing, synthesizing, and organizing research, policy, guidance, and other resources relevant to special education leadership and improvement efforts.
Contribute to the development of tools, materials, presentations, briefs, and other products for internal and external audiences.
Participate in team meetings, professional learning opportunities, and mentorship activities with leaders in special education and related fields.
Help analyze problems of practice and identify evidence-based strategies that support improved services, systems, and outcomes for children and youth with disabilities.
Collaborate with project staff to complete assigned tasks, monitor timelines, and communicate progress on internship activities.

Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize information clearly for different audiences.
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a hybrid or remote professional environment.
Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines.
Experience with literature reviews, policy analysis, data-informed decision-making, or program support.
Commitment to improving outcomes for students with disabilities, their families, and the systems that serve them.
Hourly pay is $30.00 for doctoral students and $25.00 for master's students. Rates are fixed and not negotiable.
