PARAPROFESSIONAL

Cresthaven Academy Charter School exists to provide a comprehensive education to our scholars that develops the whole child through academic excellence, physical wellness, emotional health, and character enrichment. Our school is built on the belief that all children, regardless of race or economic status, can succeed when given equal access to a high-quality education. Each of our scholars will be empowered to overcome challenges and equipped to sustain their success in school and beyond.

Cresthaven Academy Charter School opened in August 2016 with 75 kindergarten scholars, and adds a grade each academic year until we are a K-8 school. All Cresthaven Academy scholars receive access to the best educators and resources, serving to actualize each child's potential and setting them on the path to college. Cresthaven Academy Charter School is supported by Cresthaven Academy Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Foundation exists to support the school and teaching staff in all things outside of classroom instruction, reducing the risk of burnout and raising academic standards by allowing educators to focus on their scholars. Together we incorporate comprehensive support for scholars and families into the education model, including an afterschool program, in order to inspire excellence in character, identity, and academics in each child.

Cresthaven Academy is focused on supporting excellent teaching that closes the achievement gap. We recognize that teachers are the most important in-school factor contributing to student achievement. We also value leadership and support staff because they facilitate, encourage, and help to foster the developmental growth of scholars to achieve physical, social and mental well-being by providing quality care and expertise in their respective roles.

We're looking for a Paraprofessional to promote the attainment of students' developmental goals and objectives (learning, behavior, and social) as identified in the Individualized Education Plans (IEPs).

3. Depending on the assignment, works closely with the scholar and the teacher to promote desirable behavioral changes.

4. Assists with the supervision and facilitation of large group activities.

5. Alerts the teacher to any problems or special information about individual scholars.

8. Assists scholars in developing self-help skills, promoting their independence and confidence.

9. Distributes books, provides constructive scholar feedback, supervises testing, and performs other duties as assigned.
