Memphis, Tennessee, United States Gestalt Community Schools Full time
About the Role

Gestalt Community Schools is a system of K-12 college-preparatory charter schools in targeted Tennessee communities. Our schools provide strong academic outcomes for our scholars through initiatives including meaningful community involvement. We catalyze community leadership to help revitalize the neighborhood as we operate our schools in that community. Instead of debating whether education impacts the community or vice versa, we believe that the most effective method to support student achievement is an integration of education and community (a true "gestalt").

Responsibilities
  • Provide direct and indirect instructional support to students in a positive environment.
  • Employ strategies and techniques during instruction to improve the development of sensory- and perceptual-motor skills, language, cognition, and memory.

  • Teach socially acceptable behavior, as determined by the students' individualized education programs (IEPs) by employing techniques in an overall positive behavioral support system.
  • Modify the general education curriculum for students with disabilities based upon a variety of instructional techniques and technologies.
  • Plan and conduct activities for a balanced program of instruction, demonstration, and work time that provides students with opportunities to observe, question, and investigate.
  • Establish and enforce rules for behavior and procedures for maintaining an environment conducive to learning for all students.
  • Meet with parents to discuss their children's progress and to determine priorities for their children and their individualized educational needs.
  • Confer with parents, administrators, testing specialists, social workers, and other professionals to develop individualized education programs designed to promote students' educational, physical, and social/emotional development.
  • Maintain accurate and complete student records and prepare reports on children and activities, as required by laws, district policies, and administrative regulations.
  • Establish clear objectives for all lessons, units, and projects and communicate those objectives to students.
  • Develop plans for effective communication, monitoring, and follow-up of students in inclusive classroom settings.
  • Provide crisis intervention, as needed, for students and those in inclusive classrooms.
  • Assist in collection of data for providing appropriate classroom interventions.
  • Serve as a member of a multidisciplinary team as appropriate.
  • Assist in preparation of data for local, state, and federal reports.
  • Maintain professional competence by participating in staff development activities, curriculum development meetings, and other professional opportunities.
  • Responsible for compliance and reporting obligations for scholars and assigned location.
  • Perform related work as required.

  • Holds a current TN teaching license in ESL with appropriate endorsement code (Required).
