About The Position

Panorama Education is seeking an AI Solutions Consultant, Special Education (1099) to bring deep special education expertise to our work supporting educators and special education teams. In this role, you will combine your knowledge of special education practice, documentation, and state and federal requirements with a curiosity about what AI can make possible for educators. You will help design, test, and refine ways our platform can be used to support complex special education workflows, including Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), evaluations, Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBAs), Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs), specially designed instruction, and other special education processes. We believe AI, when used responsibly, can reduce administrative burden, improve consistency and quality, and give special educators more time to focus on students. At the same time, AI should support, not replace, the expertise and professional judgment of educators and other qualified professionals. We are looking for someone who can bring both perspectives to this work. This opportunity is for a 1099 contractor opportunity beginning with a 6-month contract term, with the intention of extending the contract after that. Available project work ranges from 5-20 hours a week depending on client needs and internal capacity.

Requirements

• Deep special education expertise and excitement to apply that expertise in a new way.
• Comfort experimenting with generative AI, learning how AI tools work, and using professional judgment to make their outputs better.
• Significant professional experience in K–12 special education as a practitioner, leader, psychologist, diagnostician, consultant, or related role.
• Strong knowledge of federal special education requirements and processes, as well as an understanding of how state and local requirements shape special education practice, and a demonstrated commitment to actively staying current as laws, regulations, guidance, and requirements evolve.
• Deep familiarity with key special education documents and workflows, including IEPs, special education evaluations, FBAs, BIPs, and related documentation.
• The ability to recognize what high-quality special education documentation and practice look like, and identify when something is inaccurate, incomplete, inappropriate, or potentially noncompliant.
• Experience synthesizing multiple sources of student information, such as assessment results, observations, progress-monitoring data, educator input, family input, and prior documentation.
• Comfort using generative AI tools and an interest in using AI to solve meaningful problems for educators.
• A belief that responsibly designed AI can help special educators work more efficiently and effectively while keeping educators and qualified professionals in control of consequential decisions.
• Strong written communication, critical thinking, attention to detail, and professional judgment.
• The ability to work independently, navigate ambiguity, and iterate toward high-quality solutions.

Nice To Haves

• Experience working across multiple districts or states and navigating differences in special education requirements and practices.
• Experience designing or improving AI prompts, tools, workflows, or other technology-enabled solutions.
• Experience reviewing special education documentation for quality or compliance.
• Experience supporting district-level special education implementation, professional learning, or systems improvement.
• Experience translating complex special education requirements into clear guidance, templates, processes, or tools for educators.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a special education subject matter expert, bringing strong knowledge of special education practice and state and federal requirements to the design of AI-supported special education workflows.
• Design and refine AI-supported solutions that use our platform features to support special education workflows such as IEP development, special education evaluations, FBAs, BIPs, and related processes.
• Learn how educators currently complete complex workflows, identify pain points and opportunities, and translate those needs into practical AI solutions.
• Work with district and state requirements, templates, protocols, and exemplars to ensure solutions reflect the context in which special educators work.
• Use generative AI to develop and iterate prompts, instructions, tool logic, and outputs.
• Test AI-generated outputs for accuracy, completeness, usefulness, and alignment with high-quality special education practice.
• Identify potential errors, omissions, inappropriate recommendations, or other risks and refine accordingly.
• Apply strong human judgment to determine where AI can meaningfully support educators and where professional expertise and decision-making must remain central.
• Collaborate with Panorama team members to translate special education expertise into scalable tools, resources, and guidance.
• Provide clear feedback and recommendations that help Panorama continuously improve its AI-powered solutions for special educators.

Benefits

• This is a 1099 consulting engagement.
