Job description

BelovED Community Charter School is looking for Special Education Teachers to support our push-in/ pull-out model.

OUR SCHOOL

BelovED is a highly ranked charter school, who serves an amazing diverse population in the culturally vibrant city of Jersey City that sits right across from NYC! Our staff is a dedicated group of individuals passionate about closing the achievement gap and providing a quality educational program.

WE VALUE OUR FACULTY

At BelovED, we emphasize teamwork and community and truly value our faculty:

• Evidencing this, compared to those with similar experience, OUR FACULTY MEMBERS ARE AMONG THE HIGHEST PAID IN NEW JERSEY;
• Moreover, we seek to achieve academic success without burning out teachers by meshing an effective education program with effective teacher supports and professional development.

TEACHER SUPPORTS

Teachers at BelovED are part of a school-wide team. They receive career-long coaching and professional development support from school leaders; work with their peers in professional learning communities (PLCs) to plan lessons and solve problems; and partner with an array of specialists to meet scholars’ diverse needs.

Examples of such teacher supports include:

• Abundant planning periods during the school day;
• A research-based curriculum and supporting curricular materials;
• High-quality formative assessments, aligned with the curriculum, that help identify when students have not achieved mastery of a skill, concept, or knowledge item; and
• Full-time reading and math specialists who tutor students struggling to master an essential skill, and counselors and social workers who help students struggling with non-academic problems.

Candidates MUST either hold a New Jersey Department of Education CE, Limited CE, CEAS or Standard Certificate in Special Education. TOSD or TOH is accepted. Please do not apply if you are not certified in New Jersey.

Charter schools ARE public schools. Our teachers are part of the New Jersey Teachers’ Pension and Annuity Fund (TPAF), same as teachers at traditional public schools, and can transfer their pension credits from a traditional public school to our school and vice versa. Additional benefits include:

• Pension
• Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Retirement Plan
• Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
• Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
• Short Term & Long Term Disability
• Training & Development
