Qualifications

• Deeply aligned to TEP’s mission of providing a world-class education to historically under-resourced student communities (90% of TEP students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, 22% of TEP students receive Special Education services, and 25% of TEP students are Multi-Lingual Learners)

• Outstanding verbal ability and strong communication skills
• Certification requirements: English Language Arts Teachers do not need to possess a New York State Teacher Certification to be hired at TEP Charter School. However, prospective English Language Arts teachers that do not yet have New York State teaching certification must identify and present a pathway to obtain New York State teaching certification on their application.
• Education requirements: TEP adheres to the educational background requirements outlined within the individual pathways to NYS teaching certification (see above), and does not require any additional degree programs for English Language Arts Teachers.

Responsibilities

• As one of the three pillars of our program (Academics, Arts, and Athletics), TEP is deeply committed to building a classroom culture that fosters a genuine love for math and a positive attitude towards learning.
• English Language Arts (ELA) teachers at The Equity Project inspire a love for language arts among middle school students with theme-based close-reading units that incorporate novels, non-fiction texts, and poetry.
• As one of The Equity Project's middle school English Language Arts teachers, you will teach students in your grade level for 90 minutes of English Language Arts each day, building deep connections with students that support learning and development.
• TEP English Language Arts teachers collaborate with co-teachers to facilitate lesson plans that include small-group instruction and individualized feedback to support student achievement and progress in reading and writing.
