Position Overview

Emergence Academy is part of the Springfield Empowerment Zones (SEZP) initiative, focusing on English Language Learners, particularly those with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education (SLIFE). The SLIFE Program is designed to enhance students' language proficiency, emphasizing reading and writing skills through tailored guided reading, phonics, and writing programs, alongside engaging Science instruction. Additionally, foundational Math skills will be developed through instruction aligned with Common Core standards and targeted fluency remediation.

Our mission is to empower educators in crafting high-quality curricula, implementing effective monitoring strategies, gathering relevant data, and designing focused weekly remediation plans. This approach aims to foster accelerated language development by customizing our support to meet individual student needs. Collaborating with students and their families is crucial in helping them achieve high expectations and cultivate the habits necessary for academic success in high school and beyond.

Key Responsibilities

As an educator at Emergence Academy, your responsibilities will include:

  • Implementing anti-racist instructional methods that promote student ownership of their learning
  • Delivering rigorous, grade-level content utilizing highly-rated, evidence-based curricula
  • Providing embedded interventions for students requiring additional support, time, or resources
  • Collaborating closely with a co-teaching team of two to three educators in the classroom
  • Engaging families as partners in discussing student achievements, challenges, and solutions
  • Performing other duties as assigned by the Principal

Qualifications

  • Preferred experience in teaching English, Humanities, or History at the middle or high school level
  • Preferred experience with English Learners
  • Required: Appropriate educator license (MS Humanities) and grade level licensure from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (candidates without current licensure may be eligible for a waiver)
  • Preferred experience as an advocate for equity and anti-racism
  • Preferred bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish, Somali, or Pashto
  • Required: Bachelor’s degree

We encourage individuals who meet some of the qualifications to apply or seek further information. We particularly welcome applications from historically marginalized groups, including people of color, women, individuals from working-class backgrounds, and those identifying as LGBTQ.

Benefits

Joining Emergence Academy recognizes your exceptional vision, capability, and dedication to fostering anti-racist educational environments. SEZP offers competitive salaries based on experience, with starting salaries for new educators at $57,396. Educators in SEZP are eligible for benefits, including sick leave, retirement plans, and health insurance, similar to other teachers in the Springfield Public Schools.

Additionally, there are unique opportunities within SEZP schools to enhance earnings beyond the base salary, including:

  • Expanded Learning Time stipends at select schools, contingent on the annual schedule
  • Empowerment Academies: Opportunities for intervention and instruction during designated breaks, subject to an application and selection process

About Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership

Massachusetts consistently ranks among the top states for educational outcomes, yet it faces significant opportunity gaps. The Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership (SEZP), established in 2015, aims to improve the long-term life outcomes for over 5,000 students across 16 middle and high schools. SEZP collaborates closely with Springfield Public Schools, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and the Springfield Education Association to enhance educational equity.

As a network of schools within Springfield, SEZP leverages a strong partnership with the school district and local teachers' union, while embracing the flexibility and innovation of autonomous school models. Each school within SEZP enjoys considerable autonomy in areas such as curriculum, staffing, scheduling, and budgeting, while being held accountable for achieving significant gains for historically marginalized students. SEZP is committed to equity and anti-racism, actively addressing the systemic challenges faced by our students and families.

Application Process

Instructional positions will be filled promptly, and we encourage interested candidates to apply. For inquiries regarding the role or qualifications, please reach out for assistance.
