Job Description

The Learning Community, a vibrant public charter school that centers the voices of students, families, and teachers seeks a collaborative, dedicated 4th Grade Teacher who holds high expectations for all students. 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 English language arts, 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 assessment alignment, student attendance, behavioral data collection, 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 family concerns
• Participating in school-wide responsibilities and events as needed (ranging from parent-teacher conferences to whole-team planning meetings, in-service learning days, and our summer professional development in August)
• Meet with your coach, director, 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, in the process, or eligible for 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 in their content area 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.
