A little more about the Special Education position:
We primarily have ICT classes in our school due to the fact that we believe a teacher's ability to consistently plan with a partner teacher and work with the same group of students for an extended period of time leads to higher academic achievements for students. This is also the least restrictive environment to ensure that our Sped students flourish.We had a team of 4-5 Special education teachers and are now expanding to a team of 6-7. We meet one to two times a week as a team.Special Education teachers at our school are expected to support 3 classes and will have a caseload of approximately 15-20 IEP's a year.
A little more about the ENL position:We have an ENL department made up of two teachers, our professional developer, and AP. We are looking for a candidate that wants to be a part of a community that values the voices of our students, their families, and other staff members as we help students to develop their English language acquisition skills.Our ENL teachers usually push -in to courses where there is a high number of ENL students and have time to co-plan with partnering teachers. Members of the department also meet with each other approximately one day a week in person.
A little more about the Spanish Teacher:
Students in the BSE program must receive home language support in Spanish which will be one of the three courses you teach. The other two courses will be Spanish instruction to satisfy foreign language graduation requirements.An ideal candidate will be motivated and excited to pioneer our qualification for awarding our first Seal of Biliteracy.
