Job Description

The Learning Community, a vibrant public charter school that centers the voices of students, families, and teachers, seeks a collaborative, dedicated 2nd Grade Long Term Substitute Teacher who holds high expectations for all students. This position starts in October through the end of March with the possibility of extending into April. Shadowing and training will be paid $175.00 per day, and full takeover of classroom will be paid $250.00 per day.

At The Learning Community we believe that literacy empowers each individual to have a voice, take social action and assume community responsibility. We grow teacher leaders, student leaders and community leaders. If you became a teacher because you believe that education is the social justice issue of our time and you can see the potential for literacy and other subjects to support students as critical thinkers, then you are a great candidate for this position!

In this role, you will bridge the fundamental skills learned in earlier grades by encouraging independence, critical thinking, creativity and individuality allowing them to master and apply their foundational skills.

Day to

Day Responsibilities:

• Planning for and executing high-quality lessons that move students on subjects such as science, literature, math, and
  socio-emotional learning outcomes
  
• Collaborating with fellow colleagues to review student data and use it to improve instruction
  
• Completing teacher's administrative tasks that help the school move forward like student attendance, behavioral data entry
  in Kickboard, and similar work in a timely and accurate manner
  
• Building relationships with families through positive phone calls, updates about student progress and behavior, and
  being responsive to concerns
  
• Participating in school-wide responsibilities and events as needed (ranging from arrival/dismissal duties and
  parent-teacher conferences to whole-team planning meetings, and in-service learning days.
  
• Meet with coaches, your manager, and others as needed to receive feedback on your performance, and act on that feedback.
  
• Other needed duties to support the success of your students and our school (no more than 5% of your role).

Minimum Qualifications:

To be considered for this position, all candidates must be certified or in the process of certification in the state of Rhode Island and must be U.S. citizens or residents or have work visas. In addition, they must demonstrate:

• Strong teaching abilities.

Our teachers create safe, engaging, and rigorous learning environments. In addition, we're looking

for individuals who are skilled in communicating with students and tailoring their teaching approach to the needs of their

learners. The right candidate is able to be a warm demander: to build deep and trusting relationships with students,

while creating accountability for how they show up and take ownership of their own learning.

• Deep knowledge of the subject matter you'll be teaching. Our teachers understand the content they are teaching
  and push themselves to stay current on their content area in order to raise the bar for their teaching and our students.
  
• Being a reliable, collaborative, and consistently strong colleague. Our teaching teams work closely together, have planning
  time weekly and build on each other's insights and strengths with students to meet their goals. At the Learning
  Community, teachers must be committed to healthy communication with others, working through conflict, supporting their
  team, and asking for the support they need.
  
• Strong problem-solving skills, and resilience. Our teachers bring creativity, problem-solving and an adaptable approach to
  most challenges, while keeping student safety and respect for our students, parents, and school community front and center
  in their choices.
  
• Strong emotional intelligence and communication skills - especially in conflict or for trickier decisions.

The Learning

Community aspires to be a reflective space that values thoughtful communication, strong professional relationships, and

the ability to acknowledge mistakes, repair harm, and move forward together including leaders, team members, students,

and families.
