Brooklyn, New York, United States Unity Preparatory Charter School of Brooklyn Full time
Position Overview: A committed and skilled faculty is essential to effectively serve our students and their families, establishing Unity as a leading educational institution. Our educators play a crucial role in equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary for success in secondary and postsecondary education, fostering a desire for independent learning, critical thinking, and proficient communication. The STEM Education Facilitators (Special Education teachers) are vital to our faculty's success. They leverage their expertise in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles and effective differentiation strategies to ensure that the curriculum and instruction cater to the unique talents, needs, and diverse intelligences of our students with disabilities. Furthermore, Unity's Learning Specialists cultivate strong partnerships with students and families, empowering them to become engaged and active members of our school and the broader community.

About Our School: Unity's Core Purpose is to deliver an exceptional educational experience that empowers all students to lead fulfilling lives. As a small, open-enrollment, community-based charter school serving grades 6-12 in central Brooklyn, a Unity education is characterized by being personalized, inclusive, well-rounded, and focused on each child's long-term growth and development as capable learners and compassionate individuals.

Unity's most valuable asset is the talent and dedication of our faculty and staff. The quality of a school is fundamentally linked to the learning experiences provided to students daily. We invest considerable time and resources to ensure that our team delivers healthy, safe, engaging, supportive, and appropriately challenging learning experiences for all students.

Our goal is for every student graduating from Unity to be equipped with the skills, knowledge, experiences, and mindset necessary to succeed in their postsecondary pursuits, lead fulfilling lives, and positively impact their communities.

Recent Achievements: Regardless of students' starting points, our focus is on accelerating growth and fostering long-term academic and non-academic success. This commitment has led to impressive outcomes for our students and families in recent years, including:
  • 94% of our first three graduating classes earned their high school diploma within four years.
  • 100% of our graduates had formal college and career plans, with a college matriculation rate of 76%, significantly higher than the 58% average for NYC students.
  • 95% of our graduates completed at least one Advanced Placement (AP) course in high school, compared to 33% of NYC graduates.
  • Students from traditionally underserved subgroups, including those classified as economically disadvantaged, Black, Latino, and students with disabilities, have consistently outperformed their district and state peers in high school graduation rates.
  • Most of our students experience a range of enriching opportunities during their seven years at Unity, including:
    • After-school extracurricular activities, such as athletics and clubs;
    • Formal community service initiatives;
    • End-of-year middle school Roundtable presentations;
    • Intensive counseling in College & Career Readiness starting in 9th grade.
Key Design Elements: These elements reflect our beliefs about what constitutes an exceptional secondary education in today's world:
  • A culturally relevant and rigorous college-ready curriculum rooted in the liberal arts and sciences, including high-school level Regents courses in middle school and 11 Advanced Placement courses available in high school.
  • A dedicated team of skilled educators who inspire students to reach their full potential, balancing high expectations with high support and serving as role models. Over 50% of our teachers coach athletic teams, lead enrichment clubs, or teach summer courses, contributing to an impressive teacher retention rate of 80% over the past two years.
  • Expanded learning time, including a 12-month calendar year for select students, allowing for differentiation, universal growth, enrichment, and acceleration.
  • Customized support and specialized counseling throughout students' time at Unity, featuring a staff-to-student ratio of 5:1, with most courses co-taught and intensive counseling from our academic counselors and social workers.
  • A positive and supportive discipline system & school culture based on Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBIS), where sound character traits, healthy habits, and strong socio-emotional skills are explicitly taught and nurtured.
  • A diverse array of extracurricular offerings, enrichment courses, and community service opportunities that expose students to potential passions and pursuits.
Core Responsibilities: Key responsibilities of Unity's Learning Specialists include, but are not limited to:
  • Collaboratively designing a rigorous, differentiated, engaging, and culturally responsive curriculum that addresses the unique talents, needs, and diverse intelligences of students with disabilities.
  • Implementing Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) in integrated co-teaching (ICT) and/or special education teacher support services (SETSS) settings, focusing on mastery and conceptual understanding.
  • Utilizing data from formative assessments to regularly adjust instruction.
  • Providing additional remediation and acceleration based on assessments to appropriately challenge individual students.
  • Ensuring effective classroom management and developing strong, trusting relationships with students.
  • Creating and managing individualized behavioral intervention plans to support students in achieving academic and non-academic goals.
  • Actively participating in professional development opportunities to enhance pedagogical skills and contribute to colleagues' learning.
  • Serving as an advisor to a group of students to support their growth and development.
  • Contributing to the school's efficient operation by fulfilling administrative duties and maintaining open communication with colleagues.
  • Building strong relationships with families through consistent communication and follow-through.
