6-10 Reading Intervention Specialist Job Description:
Overview:
School of the Future High School is a small, innovative New York City public school located in Manhattan, serving students from 6th to 12th grade. We aim to have a rigorous, supportive, and community-minded environment. Half of our classes are co-taught, and we have a very strong and integrated Special Education Program. Students at the School of the Future graduate through Exit Projects in Middle School and Exhibitions in high school. These are extensively researched papers and oral presentations where students demonstrate they have mastered the challenging standards of research: construct and answer an interesting essential question, demonstrate critical thinking skills, and adhere to conventions of writing. The high school uses this form of assessment instead of Regents Exams. We use a competency-based grading system to assess our students and support them in their academic growth. Our approach is to be nurturing yet academically demanding and provide personally and politically engaging curricula. We are a project-based school as we believe the workshop approach fits with our philosophy of apprenticeship and students as workers and teachers as coaches. Please check out our website at sof.edu
