Brooklyn, United States Brooklyn Urban Garden Charter School Full time

**2024-25 Middle School Sustainable Design Teacher & Field Study Coordinator**

Start Date: August 16, 2024

**Who We Are**

Brooklyn Urban Garden Charter School (BUGS), is a small, independent, progressive Middle School in South Slope/Windsor Terrace serving approximately 300 students of all abilities and backgrounds from across Brooklyn.

BUGS is at the forefront of **sustainability education, diverse-by-design and community-based schools movements**. We feature a hands-on interdisciplinary education with a focus on **real-world problem-solving** and exploration of **environmental, social, and economic sustainability**. Our Middle School students (grades 6 to 8) are prepared for **success in high school **and to become **critical thinkers, lifelong learners, and thoughtful designers of a more socially just and sustainable world.**

We are excited to welcome talented educators who are inspired by our mission and inclusion model, passionate about serving middle school aged adolescents, and eager to join a dynamic **professional learning community**. If our mission aligns with yours, we hope you will submit your materials for consideration **for the 2024 - 2025 school year**.

At BUGS, we value and respect teachers as educators, professionals, and individuals. As a growing faculty and community, we offer many opportunities for **innovation**, professional growth, and **teacher leadership**. We feature a strong, supportive community of learners, an active parent-teacher organization, and a positive student and staff culture. Educators are supported in using **project-based methodology** and designing on-going **fieldwork** to enrich the units of study.

**Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Vision Statement**

At BUGS, we actively strive to repair the detrimental effects of racism, discrimination and systems of oppression that affect our students, families, staff, community and larger society. We do this work personally and collectively through in-house professional development with our Inclusion and Culture Departments and in partnership with outside organizations.

We acknowledge that racism, discrimination and systems of oppression exist, and we are each a part of them and are affected by them - consciously and unconsciously. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are important, interdependent components of everyday life and are critical to the successful pursuit of our school vision and mission.

**Our Key Design Elements**

**_
Inquiry-Based Study of the Science of Sustainability_** BUGS will be a middle school focused on the science of sustainability, which incorporates the natural sciences, math, economics, history, social sciences, and the humanities to examine the intersection of human and ecological systems.

**_
Extended Time for Learning_** Longer blocks of class time, a longer school day and a longer school year will provide additional time to: maximize learning opportunities; implement innovative, cross-disciplinary approaches to curriculum, instruction, and assessment; and provide rigorous supports for ELLs, special education, and struggling students.

**_
A Positive and Inclusive School Climate_** BUGS will create a safe, welcoming, and respectful school climate that supports equity and access for all learners. Through its advisory program, school-wide discipline program, positive behavior supports, and research-based interventions, BUGS will foster a college-bound, career-ready student body that respects and values the diversity of others in their community and around the world.

**_
A Professional Learning Community_** A learning-focused, collaborative culture will be based on trust, shared instructional leadership, and mutual accountability. Daily common planning time and on-going professional development will enhance teachers‘ collective focus on student learning.

**_
Authentic Assessments and Individualization_** Instruction is driven by ongoing, authentic assessment and analysis of academic and behavioral data, which will support students‘ individual needs and is facilitated by trained and supported teachers.

**_
Use of Technology_** Computer-based instruction will allow for intensive, targeted remediation in basic skills, individualized learning and assessments, and the development of 21st century skills in visual, media and technological literacy.

**Our Inclusion Model**

At BUGS we believe that all students are capable of succeeding when consistently given the appropriate support. This, along with our sustainability integration, is core to our academic program. At BUGS we use various co-teaching models to meet students’ and lessons’ needs. We support an inclusion model that focuses on Universal Design for Learning (UDL), which supports differentiated instruction and Specially Designed Instruction. We believe families are equal partners in this work and must have consistent communication.

**Within Our Inclusion Model, BUGS teachers are expected to**
