Job Description:

The Teaching Apprentice position offers a unique opportunity for talented individuals to explore the field of education and gain hands-on practice and training necessary to become successful full-time classroom teachers.

As a Teaching Apprentice, you will have the chance to observe best practices in classroom instruction and education reform from experienced teachers and school leaders at a leading charter management organization in New York City.

You will observe and learn from Master Teachers, co-teach with teacher-leaders, provide in-house substitute teaching coverage for teachers, and support teachers with tutoring, grading, and individual or small group student instruction.

Depending on school needs and your background, you may also teach your own class of students, allowing for direct teaching experience within a more limited teaching load.

You will assist with various work inside and outside the classroom, including teaching Enrichment classes, organizing student events, and developing mentoring relationships with students.

Through full participation in summer and school-year professional development, as well as regular meetings with an instructional coach, you will have many opportunities to gain the experience and support necessary to develop your teaching skills.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Teaching classes on behalf of Deans and teacher-leaders who are observing other teachers;
  • Providing substitute teaching coverage for teachers within the school;
  • Potentially teaching one class or small groups of students;
  • Periodically planning and delivering instruction, gradually taking on more responsibility throughout the year;
  • Developing teaching skills to potentially become a full-time teacher at the school;
  • Supporting students by providing one-on-one and small group tutoring daily, and small group intervention and student support;
  • Observing Master Teachers in order to improve instructional techniques and classroom management;
  • Meeting regularly with a coach to implement feedback on lessons and instruction;
  • Teaching or helping coordinate an Enrichment class;
  • Assisting teachers with instruction, assessments, grading, and other classroom responsibilities;

Required Skills and Qualifications:

To excel in this role, you should possess:

  • A drive to improve the minds and lives of students in and out of the classroom;
  • Evidence of self-motivation, willingness to be a team player, and a strong sense of personal responsibility;
  • Ideal candidates are hard-working, urgent, energetic, and willing to learn and adapt;
  • A strong candidate will possess strong organizational skills, communication skills (particularly with children), and problem-solving skills;
  • Interest in performing a critical support role and the ability to excel in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, results-oriented environment;
  • Prior experience working in schools and/or urban communities is preferred but not required;
  • A relentless commitment to the mission of educating urban students.

Benefits:

Our staff receive:

  • Generous paid time off inclusive of sick time and school breaks (spring, winter, and summer) + additional sustainability half days throughout the school year;
  • Extensive, best-in-class training and development;
  • Choice of comprehensive health insurance plans;
  • Pre-tax flexible spending and health saving accounts;
  • Financial planning & wellness: Pension through Mass. Teachers Retirement System, 403(b) retirement savings program, 529 college savings program, Public Service Loan Forgiveness application assistance, financial planning tools and assistance;
  • Dependent Care FSA, back up childcare and daycare discounts;
