Job Details

Emergence Academy is the Springfield Empowerment Zone's (SEZP) English Language Learner program targeting the language development of Students with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education (SLIFE). The SLIFE Program will support students to build critical language skills, focusing on improving their reading and writing abilities through leveled guided reading, phonics, writing curriculum, as well as through hands-on Science instruction. Math skills will also be targeted through instruction rooted in Common Core standards as well as through math fluency remediation to target key foundational math skills.

By supporting teachers to develop high-quality curriculum, develop active monitoring plans, collect meaningful data, and plan targeted weekly remediation, we will support accelerated student language development by individualizing our responses to student needs. Additionally, by partnering with students and families we will support students to meet high expectations and build the habits necessary for accelerated academic growth and future academic success in high school and college.

Job Responsibilities

• Enacting anti-racist instructional practices that ensure students own the learning
• Providing grade level rigor in the course content using highly-rated, research-based curriculum
• Providing embedded interventions for students needing additional support, time, or scaffolds
• Working closely with a co-taught team of two to three additional educators in the classroom
• Engaging with families as partners in the learning around successes, challenges, and problem-solving on behalf of our scholars
• Other duties as determined by the Principal
  
  

Position Qualifications

• Experience teaching Computer Science, STEM, or similar subject area at the middle and/or high school level preferred
• Experience teaching English Learners preferred
• Appropriate content/program area educator license (e.g. Technology, Digital Literacy and Computer Science) and grade level licensure from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education required (Educators who are not licesed by MA DESE in the appropriate area or grade level may be eligible for a licensure waiver and are still encouraged to apply.)
• Experience as an active anti-racist or advocate for equity preferred
• Bilingual in English and Spanish, English and Somali, or English and Pashto preferred
• Bachelor's degree required
  
  

If you meet some of the qualifications above, we encourage you to apply or reach out for more information. We know that historically marginalized groups - including people of color, women, people from working class backgrounds, and people who identify as LGBTQ - are less likely to apply unless and until they meet every requirement for a job. Therefore, we strongly encourage applications from educators with these identities or who are members of other marginalized communities.

We encourage you to reach out to Principal Amanda Gauthier at [e-mail] if you have questions about the role or your qualifications. We are happy to help you feel ready to apply!

About the Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership:

While Massachusetts is consistently ranked as one of the top states for education results in the country, we have one of the highest and most persistent opportunity gaps. The Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership (SEZP) - established in 2015 as a collaboration between Springfield Public Schools (SPS), the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), and the Springfield Education Association (SEA) - seeks to improve the longitudinal life outcomes of the more than 5,000 students in our 16 middle and high schools.

As a "zone" of schools within the city of Springfield, including Lyceum College Prep Academy, SEZP's approach draws on a deep and embedded partnership with the school district and local teachers' union, while harnessing the flexibility and innovation found in autonomous school models. As a result, each school within SEZP is accorded significant school-based autonomies - in curriculum, talent, calendar, schedule, and budget - while being held accountable for realizing achievement gains for historically marginalized students. In all of our work, SEZP is in pursuit of equity and anti-racism acknowledging the systemic oppression our students and families encounter daily and working to disrupt these provision gaps urgently and courageously.

Application Process Please contact Amanda ([e-mail]) or [e-mail] with any questions.
