I. List of Middle
school teacher duties:
- Customize curriculum, using The Big History Project as a spring board, and align key references and questions for focus through discussion and collaboration with the other middle school teacher. As appropriate, leverage rich and varied resources for inventing interdisciplinary, project-based classroom learning.
- Together with the current middle school teacher, create and customize Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs) which drive goal setting and learning strategies and lend focus and priorities for each student throughout the year.
- Adapt classroom activities and strategies to differentiate for each student’s needs, capacities, and interests; understand and support each learner’s strengths and style, and foster a setting in which they can each be their best self, while also progressing in areas of relative weakness.
- Plan and lead a daily math group, leveraging and customizing curricula appropriately. We have an ability based math block with average class size of 7 students per class.
- Collaborate with all teachers. Share and listen. Leverage teachers’ and parents’ knowledge across the whole school to serve students as a community, and to continuously improve as a school and as professionals.
- Collaborate with a rich pool of scientific researchers in the greater Boston academic and medical community to bring their expertise, mentorship, and ideas to life in the classroom with students.
- Apply an eclectic blend of learning pedagogy, including teaching for understanding, multiage, thematic, interdisciplinary, experiential, and projects.
- Partner in-class learning experiences with computer-based courseware that can be self paced and leveraged at school and as homework.
- Technological fluency – preferably in a Mac platform – is expected so that technology can be an integrated tool in the classroom.
- Use a ‘teacher as facilitator’ style. This is not a traditional “in-charge teacher who dispenses the knowledge” approach. Our teachers serve as facilitators who enable student learning in a way customized for student abilities and interests.
- Cover recess and lunch 1x / week
- Be proactive to get what you need to be successful by leveraging the extended Acera community and its collaborators.
- Embrace our parent collaborative educational model; communicate openly, with honesty and compassion. Share teaching philosophy and pedagogical beliefs; educate parents.
- Take initiative, be inventive, ask for help, and suggest novel approaches
- Leverage a positive, responsive classroom type management style with students, emphasizing student engagement and voice as a key strategy to manage classrooms.
