I knew early on that I wanted to advocate and support people who just had different needs.</li></ul><h3>What do you like about Cross Country Education?</h3><ul><li>I love the work-life balance that CCE gives me. I have a kindergartener and love to drop her off and pick her up from school. It’s a small thing, but it's one of the things I got back after coming out of the standard school setting.</li></ul><h3>What have you liked about your experience working at CCE schools?</h3><ul><li>Special education programs look different everywhere, even within the same charter network. I love to experience the different school/department cultures. I get to take the best practices and stick them in my toolbox.</li></ul><h3>What kind of advice would you give to someone starting in your field?</h3><ul><li>Supporting students is a team approach. For me, starting as a paraeducator/TA was crucial. Working early in these positions gave me a solid foundation in collaboration.</li></ul><h2>Case Manager and Academic Assessor Jobs</h2><p>If, like Jennifer, you’re ready to make a difference in the lives of students and embark on a meaningful adventure as a case manager or academic assessor, explore our <a href="https://www.crosscountryeducation.com/job-search" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">special education jobs</a> today!</p><p><br></p>
