Boston Higashi School

My dream job! Years before moving to Massachusetts, I learned about this amazing program for students with Autism. I looked at their website, and thought well I will never live in Boston so I am never going to work there. Much to my surprise, I ended up moving with my partner to Mass! And I was even more surprised to see that they had an art teacher position open. I knew that this was my dream, combining art and special education. And even more specifically working with students on the spectrum. I feel so lucky to be working with amazing students everyday, and so lucky that I get to work at an amazing school.

Applications and Art

The job application process is in full swing here. I am officially one week into my search. I have been home alone focusing on cover letters, references, and searching for new jobs. I am hopeful, and very excited for many of the prospects. To keep me grounded I have spent time making art when I need a break, and watching lots of Parks and Rec. Because we all need a Lesley to remind us that we got this!
