2026-27 Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) - PART TIME

Job Description

Worcester Cultural Academy Charter Public School is seeking an experienced and skilled Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to join our team in a part-time capacity. This is a 2-3 day per week position serving our K-7 school community in Worcester. We are looking for a candidate who brings clinical expertise, a collaborative spirit, and a genuine commitment to supporting students with emotional, behavioral, and autism spectrum needs in an inclusive, high-expectation school environment.

We welcome candidates who reflect the cultural diversity of our community.

Worcester Cultural Academy (WCA) is a growing charter public school that opened in August 2023 with a vision of becoming a K-8 community. We launched as a K-4 school and have added a grade every year since - this fall we welcome our first 7th graders.

As an EL (Expeditionary Learning) Education school, we believe in hands-on learning that challenges students to grow in three dimensions: mastery of knowledge and skills, character, and high-quality work. We partner with organizations like the Eco Tarium, Worcester Art Museum, and Hanover Theater and anchor our curriculum in Learning Expeditions that make learning meaningful and real. Every student - including those who need the most support - deserves access to that kind of learning, and our BCBA plays a critical role in making that possible.

• Conduct functional behavior assessments (FBAs) for students with emotional, behavioral, and autism spectrum needs
• Develop, implement, and monitor individualized behavior intervention plans (BIPs) with clear goals, measurable outcomes, and regular data review
• Provide direct support to students as needed, modeling strategies and building students' capacity for self-regulation and positive behavior
• Collaborate with special education teachers and related service providers to ensure behavior supports are integrated into each student's IEP and overall plan
• Monitor and analyze behavioral data, adjusting plans based on student progress and emerging needs
• Attend IEP meetings and present behavioral data and recommendations for team review

• Serve as a consultant and thought partner to teachers, special educators, and instructional aides
• Provide training, modeling, and coaching to staff on evidence-based behavior strategies, de-escalation techniques, and trauma-informed practices
• Guide instructional aides and paraprofessionals in implementing BIPs consistently and with fidelity
• Support teachers in building classroom environments and routines that are proactive, structured, and conducive to all learners
• Collaborate with school leadership on school-wide behavior systems and culture initiatives

• Participate in IEP meetings, contributing behavioral expertise and communicating clearly about student progress and supports
• Maintain accurate and organized documentation including FBAs, BIPs, and progress data in compliance with state and federal requirements
• Communicate proactively with your supervisor and school leadership, ensuring alignment and transparency

• Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) certification in good standing
• Massachusetts licensure as a BCBA (or eligibility for licensure)
• Experience conducting FBAs and developing and implementing BIPs in school settings
• Experience working with students with autism spectrum disorder and emotional and behavioral needs
• Strong consultation and coaching skills - you can build the capacity of the people around you, not just work directly with students
• Experience collaborating with special education teams, general education teachers, and paraprofessionals
• Comfort with data collection, analysis, and using data to drive decision-making
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with families, staff, and students across a range of identities and backgrounds
