At BMP Special Education Cooperative, we believe school psychologists should have the flexibility, professional support, and autonomy to do their jobs well.
Serving 14 member school districts across Bureau and Marshall Counties, our cooperative offers opportunities to collaborate with educators, support students with diverse needs, and help school teams make informed decisions.
Want to write reports from home? You can!
Flex time policy that allows for greater scheduling flexibility.
Plan your own daily schedule, including where you work and how you organize your responsibilities.
We value work-life balance and trust our professionals to manage their work.
Our team model means school psychologists have fewer case management and IEP meeting coordination responsibilities than they might in a traditional district position.
Special Education Coordinators help manage the IEP process, allowing psychologists to focus more on evaluations, consultation, intervention planning, and problem-solving.
Spend more time using your professional expertise to support students and school teams and less time coordinating the IEP process.
Work within a team model with shared responsibilities alongside special education coordinators and school social workers.
Participate in regular consultation meetings to problem-solve cases, discuss concerns, and identify next steps.
Collaborate with friendly, supportive colleagues who are there to help when cases get complicated.
Your supervisor is a school psychologist.
Support for a manageable workload and a healthy work-life balance.
Mentorship, consultation, and opportunities for professional growth.
