Job description

BelovED Charter School is hiring an ESL Teacher. Salary: $62,000-$82,000+ Why Our School is Special: BelovED Community Charter School is a highly successful charter school that truly supports its teachers. We serve a student mix that is among the most diverse in America while enjoying the cultural vibrance of Jersey City, Hoboken and New York City. We have achieved academic success without burning out our teachers by meshing an effective education program with effective teacher supports and professional development. 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 more than at other public schools and now, among those with similar experience, OUR FACULTY MEMBERS ARE AMONG THE HIGHEST PAID IN NEW JERSEY. New Jersey charter schools ARE public schools. Our teachers are part of the Teachers? Pension and Annuity Fund (TPAF), just like teachers at other public schools, and teachers are able to transfer their pension credits from a traditional public school to a charter school and vice versa.

• Abundant planning periods and a designated lunch break that provides teachers an opportunity to prepare up-coming lessons during the school day;
• A research-based curriculum and supporting curricular materials (you will have the freedom to develop your own, but after a full day in the classroom, you may appreciate not always having to develop learning objectives and curricular resources from scratch);
• High-quality formative assessments, aligned with our curriculum, that will help you immediately identify when students in your class have not achieved mastery of a skill, concept, or knowledge item;
• Full-time reading and math specialists or intervention teachers who will be available to tutor students who are struggling to master an essential skill, and social workers AND counselors who will be available to help students struggling with outside problems;
• The staffing of our afterschool program by Academic Tutors, so we can limit the length of our teachers? work-days.
