Company Summary

Learning Network is a growing, innovative, and customer-centric educational services company. We seek creative and tenacious individuals to help us drive success through service.

Service is very important to us. At Learning Network, you will be among people who care about their customers and colleagues. We prioritize service by ensuring the details are done and done well - every time. We make promises, and we keep those promises. We recognize that our customers and employees don't have to choose us. As such, service is embedded deep within our culture - and providing white-glove service is an expectation of every employee.

At Learning Network, you'll be a part of something special. You'll sleep better knowing you make a difference by bringing the most innovative education to thousands of students. You'll do this amongst a supportive community of people who care. In return, you'll care. You'll show you care by being teachable, doing your job well, and valuing the relationships with your colleagues. You'll achieve your goals and play nicely in the sandbox with others while doing it. We don't do drama, and neither should you.

Working at Learning Network isn't for everyone. But for those who choose to commit to hard work, service, students, and colleagues, it's an incredibly rewarding experience.

• Serve students, families, and colleagues with genuine professionalism, integrity, humility, and a white-glove mindset that makes every interaction feel personal and uplifting.

• Personally own the intake and onboarding process for students with IEPs, ensuring all documentation is accurate, complete, and aligned with state and federal requirements.

• Establish and maintain strong, proactive communication with families—particularly within the first weeks of enrollment—to guide them through the transition process and ensure clarity, confidence, and support.

• Schedule and facilitate transfer and initial special education meetings, ensuring all required documentation is completed accurately and within required timelines.

• Review new student files with care and urgency, coordinating with internal teams to resolve discrepancies and ensure complete, compliant records.

• Exercise discretion and sound judgment when communicating with families regarding their rights, responsibilities, and special education programming in an online environment.

• Keep meticulously detailed, organized records to ensure nothing falls through the cracks and all state and federal Special Education requirements, timelines, and documentation standards are maintained.

• Collaborate closely with Special Education staff to ensure a seamless handoff from onboarding to ongoing case management, maintaining continuity of support for each student.

• Monitor systems and workflows to ensure timely communication, compliance, and service delivery.

• Engage fully in professional development, meetings, and training as both a participant and a subject matter expert, to continuously elevate your impact and the impact of other staff members on the success of special education students through vehicles like IEP documentation, accommodations, and implementation practices.
