Job Description

Company

School districts are required by federal, state, and local law to provide a free, appropriate public education through Special Programs such as Special Education, Section 504, RTI/MTSS, Gifted/Talented and ELL. Extensive documentation is required, informs student education, and drives district funding.

SameGoal is a documentation, management and compliance web application that helps districts reduce time spent on paperwork, prevent compliance issues and improve education for students with special needs. We currently serve 1000+ districts/local education agencies nationally (including large and small districts, state agencies and charter networks) with a 99%+ annual renewal rate.

State Customization Team

The mission of SameGoal’s state customization team is to design the workflows and configure the SameGoal platform to best fit the needs of each Special Program in each state we serve. This includes the creation of forms, validation rules, program participation tracking rules, deadlines, administrative reports and state reporting extracts. Shape/own how educators complete Special Programs documentation in a given state, and help them save time and do things easier at every turn with district feedback. This team incorporates legal requirements, published state guidance, educator workflows and district feedback into a best-in-class educator experience that supports the needs of districts on the ground.

Transitioning Teachers

Important skills in this role include attention to detail, curiosity, creativity and a desire to truly serve educators and thereby students as best as possible. It blends legal, technical, and district engagement/feedback aspects in a unique way. There are few other opportunities available in which you can influence the way in which whole states author and manage documentation so quickly and systematically.

This is truly an "ed tech" role, and the majority of your time will be spent "coding up" the configurations and customization required. Examples of technologies used include XML, Typescript, Markdown, etc.
