Early Interventionist

POSITION DETAILS

We are looking for a certified Early Interventionist (EI) who will work as part of a team to create a solid foundation for ReNEW’s academic program. The Early Interventionist provides students with appropriate educational activities and experiences that will enable them to fulfill ReNEW Schools’ mission to provide a rigorous, college-preparatory education to historically underserved PK-8th grade students. This teacher will work in our Early Childhood Center or in our Community Program with children 3 to 5 years old.

OUTCOMES

Early Interventionist (Preschool): Prepare 90% of students to be ready for the next grade level, as measured by early learning standards, Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), and norm-referenced assessments.

WHO WE ARE

At ReNEW, we transform underperforming schools into academically rigorous schools that prepare students for the next level of achievement, including high school, college, and career. ReNEW is dedicated to helping teachers become outstanding at their craft. With a high focus on professional development and individual coaching at the school and network levels, we are committed to helping you become the best professional you can be.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

At ReNEW Schools, we expect our teachers to:

• Use goals to drive instruction. With your manager and team, you will set clear and ambitious short-term and long-term goals to drive your instruction and help your students succeed.
• Create a culture of learning. You will implement a student-led, positive, and safe classroom and school-wide environment in order to ensure learning is maximized.
• Differentiate for all students. We believe all children can learn, so you will provide the necessary accommodations and modifications for the growth and success of all students.
• Use data all day, every day. You will assess qualitative and quantitative student data in order to draw insightful conclusions from it and adjust instruction as necessary.
• Reflect. We believe that all teachers can improve in meaningful, measurable, and significant ways through great coaching. To that end, you will view feedback as a tool to improve and will receive instructional coaching to help prepare you and thus, your students, for greater success.
• Communicate and collaborate. You will be responsible for regularly communicating and collaborating with parents and other staff members to ensure each student is making strong academic and social progress. You will assume shared responsibility for all students’ success.
• Be flexible and innovative: As we are a turnaround organization, you will be flexible in ensuring the strategies you implement best meet students’ needs, and if not, adjust course. You will help invent, refine, and imagine practices and policies to successfully meet all our students’ needs.
• Be a constant learner. You will regularly participate in school-wide and network-wide professional development and will be solutions-oriented.
• Celebrate. You will approach your work with joy and enthusiasm for the impact you will have on our community and students.

WHAT YOU BRING

In addition to the expectations listed above, you will bring the following to your school and students:

• Early Intervention certification required
• Bachelor’s Degree
• At least 2 or more years of teaching experience preferred, preferably in an underserved area
• Must meet all qualifications to work in a child care setting (background check, etc.)
