New York, New York, United States Avenues Full time

WHY TEACH AT AVENUES?

A top-tier school in New York City. Teaching and learning through dual language immersion and challenging interdisciplinary projects. A culture of creativity, entrepreneurship and deep collaboration. State-of-the-art technology throughout. Brilliant colleagues, with widely diverse experience, creating a unique educational experience together. Unparalleled possibilities for professional learning and development prospects. There is no place quite like Avenues.

DEEP COLLABORATION THROUGH LANGUAGE IMMERSION

Collaboration here isn't a buzzword: it's woven into everything we do given that our students in grades 1-5 alternate their days between their English and Target Language classrooms.

  • Teacher teams composed of English and Spanish teachers or English and Chinese teachers share two classes of students
  • Teacher teams share responsibility for teaching curriculum that promotes their students social, emotional and academic growth in both languages.
  • Given this structure teacher teams communicate daily to plan lessons and discuss student progress
  • Additionally teachers collaborate with fellow grade-level and language colleagues during weekly meetings.

WHAT YOULL DO

  • Collaborate intensively and daily with English and target language (Spanish) colleagues to design learning outcomes, monitor growth, and thoughtfully address individual student needs.
  • Design and teach an innovative curriculum that engages all learners in meaningful and challenging work that cultivates real-world problem solving skills and develops social responsibility.
  • Employ a range of instructional practices to meet the needs of a diverse group of learners based on informal and formal assessments.
  • Deeply connect with students, colleagues and parents to vigorously uphold a culture of welcome, safety and respect.
  • Invoke a robust learning atmosphere that leads students to value being at school and feel part of a rigorous and joyful learning community.

WHAT YOU BRING

  • Full fluency in Spanish and experience in immersion teaching
  • At least 3 years of teaching experience in grades K-6 with a proven track record of student learning
  • Strong understanding of instructional skills teaching through a balanced literacy approach in the reading and writing workshop model
  • Experience with problem-based mathematics instruction
  • A strong desire to be a team-player collaborating closely to achieve shared goals
  • Deep dedication to learning and growing as an educator
  • Respect for, and appreciation of, a diverse community of learners, families and colleagues
  • Ability to embrace change and consider new perspectives
  • Graduate degree in education, teaching or a related field highly preferred
  • Candidates with diverse backgrounds encouraged to apply
