TEACHER SUPPORTS

Teachers at Empowerment Academy are part of a school-wide team.

Examples of such teacher supports include:

• 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.

Teacher certification is required for this role. Candidate must hold a CE, CEAS, Limited CE, or Standard Certificate as a “Spanish Teacher” or other World Language issued by the NJDOE. Please only apply if certified.

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:
