Are you dedicated to influencing positive changes in at-risk communities by preparing students for college and a successful life and career? Academies of Math and Science (AMS) is an academically advanced charter school network serving predominantly low-income students, with a decade-long track record of being either the highest or one of the highest performing K-8 charter schools in Arizona. As part of the AMS family, your role as an ELA Interventionist is to guide our motivated K-8 students through an advanced curriculum alongside our team of talented educators.
As we open new schools and grow by roughly 30% each year, we seek intelligent, data-driven teachers eager to uphold the same academic excellence that made our flagship school in Tucson the 2016 Arizona Charter School of the Year. Our results and success support our belief that all students can succeed – no matter their background – with the right programs in place, and more importantly, the right people leading the way. That’s where you come in.
- Are you fiercely dedicated to helping at-risk students forge their way to a college education?
- Do you believe that there are no limits to how much you can improve in the art and science of teaching?
- Do you believe that setting high expectations for students (academically and behaviorally) sets them up for success?
- Do you believe in the importance of a balanced STEM-focused education supplemented with arts, humanities, and character development?
- Our teachers answer these questions with an emphatic YES
Responsibilities:
- Administer student assessments and utilize data to identify areas for growth
- Collaborate with grade-level teachers and administration to establish growth plans for students
- Create lesson plans and activities to enhance student learning in areas of need
- Provide individual and small group remediation to struggling students
- Track and monitor individual student growth or drops in performance
In the words of one of our employees, “[AMS has] incredible curriculum and standards that help students succeed. Administration appreciates staff and they express it throughout the school year, and there are a lot of opportunities for growth within the company. Everyone is always looking for ways to be better for our students! I am proud to work in an encouraging environment that is so uplifting and positive. I can’t say enough great things about AMS.”
We are among the highest performing Title I schools in Arizona; in fact, one of our campuses is the highest performing K-8 school with greater than 70% F/R in the state of Arizona out of 293 such schools.
We seek highly motivated and passionate teachers who want to make a difference. The professionals we hire are the most intelligent and the most talented experts in their fields. We live by our motto…
“Empowering great talent through great culture.”
