ELA Interventionist
Academies of Math and Science (AMS) is an academically advanced charter school network serving predominantly low-income and at-risk students, with a decade-long track record of being one of the highest performing K-8 charter schools in Arizona. Many students come to us performing 2 years below grade level and quickly achieve above grade level mastery at AMS. As part of the AMS family, your role as an ELA Interventionist is to guide our motivated students through an advanced curriculum alongside our team of talented educators.
As we open new schools and continue to grow by roughly 30% each year, we seek data-driven, culturally aware teachers who are determined to uphold the academic excellence which made our flagship school in Tucson the 2016 Arizona Charter School of the Year. Our teachers use an advanced curriculum that has allowed our Title 1 scholars a level of academic achievement they may not have access to elsewhere. Our educators work in predominantly low-income areas of Arizona, where they may face the challenges of teaching students with a variety of educational needs.
We are looking for educators who understand human development, can handle multiple tasks and remain engaged in their own learning to increase their expertise, providing their students an even higher level of learning. If this teaching position relates to your exuberance, passion, and mission towards education for the disadvantaged, we look forward to having you interview and becoming a part of our illustrious charter school network.
What our parents have to say about AMS:
“I am so happy that I found a school that will develop my children's character as well as their academics. I have children in the elementary and middle school, and both love the school and have excelled since attending.”
“They have high expectations for their students that encourages a higher level of thinking and pushes the sense of community in the school. Administration is very supportive and the family environment and family involvement at this campus are impressive. You immediately feel at home here at AMS.”
Responsibilities:
- Teaching up to 31 instructional hours per week to a classroom of roughly 31-34 students
- Lesson planning and grading
- Administering scheduled benchmarks and tests, including but not limited to AzMerit, NWEA, AZELLA, Write Source, Rewards, Corrective Reading, and Study Island
- Attending weekly professional development and meetings with grade level team/professional learning community
- Overseeing daily recess and dismissal, in addition to some morning duties, in order to ensure student and staff safety
- Leading parent-student-teacher meetings and performing required parent communication
- Coordinating with administrators and other staff members to create an environment focused on meeting students’ academic and behavioral needs
- Option to lead after school clubs, sports, or intervention/tutoring for additional pay
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.”
