Main Purpose of the Position:

The Bilingual Educational Psychologist will be part of IMI’s Educational Psychology Department, working directly with the department leader to support students’ learning, behavior, socio-emotional development, self-regulation, and overall school well-being.

This is an educational psychology position, not a clinical therapy role.

An important part of the position involves working directly inside classrooms, observing students, supporting teachers, implementing educational and behavioral strategies, identifying needs, documenting observations, and following up on students who require additional support.

The goal is to prevent, observe, support, intervene, document, and follow up,



always within the professional scope of Educational Psychology and the school’s institutional protocols.

Main Responsibilities:

- Support the Educational Psychology Department in the follow-up of students with academic, behavioral, emotional, or social needs.
- Assist the department leader in the implementation and monitoring of the Heedfulness program.
- Conduct classroom observations to identify attention, self-regulation, behavioral, social, emotional, or learning-related needs.
- Work directly inside classrooms as a support professional for teachers and students.
- Assist students who require additional guidance to participate successfully in classroom activities.
- Support teachers in implementing practical strategies for classroom management, behavior, attention, emotional regulation, and student participation.
- Provide individual or small-group educational and socio-emotional support when required and under the coordination of the department.
- Participate in conflict mediation between students and promote healthy relationships, respectful communication, and problem-solving.
- Support the identification, documentation, referral, and follow-up of students who may require additional intervention.
- Collaborate with teachers and Academic Coordination to develop strategies based on classroom observations and student needs.
- Maintain clear records of observations, interventions, agreements, referrals, and student progress.
- Communicate relevant findings professionally to the Educational Psychology Department.
- Collaborate with families when required and under the department’s established procedures.
- Participate in preventive programs related to school coexistence, socio-emotional development, bullying prevention, values, healthy decision-making, and student well-being.
- Follow institutional protocols for the prevention, identification, documentation, referral, and follow-up of situations involving student safety or well-being.
- Maintain strict confidentiality and professional boundaries.

Classroom Support:





A significant part of this position involves active classroom participation.

The Educational Psychologist will:

- Observe students in their natural learning environment.
- Support teachers without replacing their role or authority.
- Help students develop attention, organization, autonomy, emotional regulation, and positive classroom behaviors.
- Support students during transitions, collaborative activities, projects, and other school routines.
- Help prevent behavioral difficulties through observation and early intervention.
- Identify patterns and possible barriers affecting learning or participation.
- Provide teachers with practical strategies based on observed needs.
- Promote inclusion, positive relationships, emotional safety, and a healthy classroom climate.
- Provide support in English when working within bilingual learning environments.

Professional Profile We Are Looking For:

- Enjoys working directly with children and adolescents.
- Understands the difference between educational psychology and clinical therapy.
- Is comfortable spending significant time inside classrooms, not only working from an office.
- Observes objectively and distinguishes evidence from assumptions or personal interpretations.
- Uses records, data, observations, protocols, and follow-up to make decisions.
- Can identify students who may require additional support and follow the appropriate referral process.
- Maintains professional boundaries and confidentiality.
- Works collaboratively with teachers rather than evaluating or judging their performance.
