New Grad SLP — Real CF supervision, not supervision on paper (Woodland)
- New Grad Slp
- Woodland, CA
- $76,000–$90,000 / year
- Full-time
- School
CF year is when most new clinicians decide whether to stay in the field or quit it.
About this role
CF year is when most new clinicians decide whether to stay in the field or quit it. We've watched enough classmates quit that we built this role specifically to prevent that outcome.
Woodland Joint Unified serves a richly bilingual (Spanish-English) student population — if Spanish assessment or dual-language therapy is something you want to develop, Woodland is the placement where that actually happens.
Your day runs on a school calendar — 7:45am to 3:30pm at Woodland-area campuses, with protected prep time and a real lunch. Caseloads for CFs start at 30 IEPs and cap at 40 in year one so you can actually write good goals and run clean assessments instead of cutting corners on every one. You'll run pull-out, push-in, and consultation sessions depending on IEP-team decisions, and we'll walk you through your first 3 IEP meetings side-by-side before you run them solo.
What this role looks like
- Reduced CF caseload: starts at 30, capped at 40 — time to learn properly
- Same-day response on questions via text or call; "no question is too small" is in writing
- CF cohort community — monthly peer meetings with other new SLPs in the same boat
- Structured onboarding in the first 90 days: caseload setup, IEP templates, documentation shortcuts
Who thrives here
If you've watched classmates take CF placements at districts that sold them on salary and then disappeared on them, and you want a shorter paycheck with real supervision instead — this is the slot. The last three CF cohorts are still with us.
Highlights & benefits
- 100% CF completion + retention track record
- Weekly 1:1 CF mentor meetings (protected time)
- CF caseload capped at 40 — time to learn properly
- Full pay from day one — no "CF discount"
- Woodland JUSD — heavy Spanish-English bilingual caseload
