Why Our School is Special If you want to work in a highly
successful charter school that supports its teachers, serving a
student mix that is among the most diverse in America while
enjoying the cultural vibrance of Jersey City, Hoboken and New York
City (just 2 miles away), then apply today We have achieved
academic success without burning out our teachers by meshing an
effective education program with effective teacher supports and
professional development. We are now hiring Special Education
Teachers for the 2022/2023 School Year Positions may be available
as a "Special Education Support Role" or as a "Lead Inclusion
Teacher" at the Upper Elementary/Middle School Level. We truly
value our faculty and work hard to control other costs so we can
focus our resources on supporting them. In fact, throughout our
history, we have annually increased faculty salaries by far more
than at other public schools and now, among those with similar
experience, OUR FACULTY MEMBERS ARE AMONG THE HIGHEST PAID IN NEW
JERSEY. Teacher Responsibilities Values, Expectations, and
Commitment Teachers must commit themselves to the School---s values
and mission. Moreover, appreciating the example of excellent
schools which succeed at helping all students achieve at a high
level, teachers must hold high expectations for each student and
commit themselves to helping every student achieve their full
potential. Student Learning Every teacher must accept ultimate
responsibility for his or her students achieving learning progress
that meets or exceeds the School's high standards and must actively
develop solutions to problems, reaching out for peer and leader
support, and taking advantage of other school resources, as
necessary. Teaching and Assessment Teachers may make use of
school-provided curricular materials, or they may design their own,
but they must plan and deliver vibrant and engaging lessons ---
each with a measureable goal --- within the framework of the
School---s carefully sequenced, standards-aligned education program
and they must administer school-provided formative assessments on a
regular basis so instruction can be targeted to their students'
needs. Culture and Classroom Management Teachers must communicate,
and also model for their students, behaviors which befit the high
expectations culture and the caring school climate to which we are
committed. They must apply School and classroom rules consistently
and effectively; make use of preventive discipline; and effectively
supervise students both in their classroom and elsewhere on School
grounds. Teamwork, Professional Relations, and Professional
Development Teachers should see themselves as members of a team and
should commit themselves to their own and to their peers---
on-going professional development. Teachers will be required to
attend professional development sessions, to participate actively
in planning meetings, and to become part of a professional learning
community where they can lend assistance to, and gain assistance
from, their grade-level peers. Special Needs Students and English
Language Learners Teachers must work collaboratively with the
school---s special education and ELL staff to implement the
school---s special education and ELL programs and to comply with
all state and federal regulations. Teacher Supports Teachers are
part of a school-wide team that includes many different
professionals and they receive career-long coaching and
professional development support from their Academy Dean and Dean
of Students, their Grade Level or Department Head, and our
Coordinator of Special Education. Teachers work closely with their
grade level peers, with whom they engage within professional
learning communities (PLCs) assisting one another to solve problems
