Job Description
Upper School Resources Teacher/Intervention Specialist Overview:
The Summit Country Day School is a nationally recognized leader in character education and offers a compelling combination of small classes, caring faculty, academic rigor, and strong spiritual values. For more than a century, The Summit has maintained a proud legacy of excellence in independent, Catholic education. We offer a coeducational learning experience to students from Montessori 18 months through grade 12. The Summit is a place where values are affirmed, young minds are enriched, and dreams take flight.

This intervention may occur in the resources classroom or in other settings. This teacher ensures that students have access to an equitable educational experience through accommodations.

- Partner with faculty to differentiate instruction to effectively meet the individual needs of students.
- Provide classroom instruction that will focus on self-awareness and self-advocacy: Who am I? How do I learn? How do I get the supports I need? Classroom instruction will also concentrate on life skills such as organization and time management.
- Document and monitor student progress and achievement using assessment tools, monitoring through observations/evaluation and/or collecting data. Use student progress data to improve instruction. Provide periodic communication to parents about student performance.
- Partner with the College Counseling department to ensure college preparatory resources continue to evolve with best practices in the field.
- Seek out professional development opportunities to keep the program robust.
- In partnership with the other Resources teacher, maintain learning profiles on all students with accommodations, whether they are in the resources program or not.
