JOB OVERVIEW FOR TEACHING POSITIONS

We are seeking dynamic, caring and passionate teachers with a minimum of two years teaching experience, ideally in an urban district.

ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE CHARTER SCHOOL

Neighborhood House Charter School was founded over 20 years ago with a mandate to both provide a better education for Boston’s low-income families and to incubate the best in teaching and learning practices. Serving nearly 500 children from Dorchester and surrounding neighborhoods, we have become one of the most sought-after public schools in the City. The 70 percent low-income, 80 percent minority families we serve truly reflect the diversity of Boston. In keeping with our commitment to provide a better education option for Boston schoolchildren, we opened a Neighborhood House Charter School High School in the fall of 2017. We are uniquely positioned to understand the challenges facing Boston students as they move into high school, and we are both honored and excited to be able to offer a high school that will address these challenges and give families a new, distinctive option.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Teachers must either be certified or licensed to teach in Massachusetts or have passed, prior to the end of their first year of employment, the Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL). This includes a passing score on the Communication and Literacy Skills test and a passing score on the relevant subject matter knowledge test(s). Teachers must also have their Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) endorsement within their first year of teaching at NHCS.

  • Bachelor’s degree required, Master’s Degree in Education or Subject area preferred
  • Minimum of two year’s teaching experience with an urban population of low-income and ELL learners preferred

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Teach content level classes including planning and delivering lessons and monitoring and assessing the progress of each student within a Rich and Structured Learning (RSLE) format
  • Lead, guide, and teach an advisory of 10-12 students
  • Partner with department and grade-level colleagues and specialists to design and implement student supports to ensure each student’s success
  • Act as a key team member in plans and tasks related to the school culture
  • Prepare and lead extracurricular activities based on personal interests and/or school need and student interests
  • Other roles and responsibilities as they become necessary

EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL STAFF

  • An entrepreneurial spirit in creating a new vision for urban high school students and the commitment to see it through
  • Belief that every child can be successful
  • Belief in two messages, simultaneously, in balance: “We love you” and “We have the highest expectations of you – and you can and will meet them”
  • Belief that the best learning happens through experiences that are both rich and structured
  • Belief that problems are hurdles, not roadblocks, and that there is a solution if a student is willing to work harder, smarter, and more creatively
  • Belief that teachers must learn and influence social emotional strengths of all children in and out of the classroom
  • Desire to continually reflect and grow as an educator through professional development, peer feedback, and observation
  • Belief in a school community where students, families, teachers and school leaders demonstrate accountability, flexibility, humor, effort, responsibility, respect and hope
  • Strong interest in implementing data- driven instruction to help produce measurable goals and results.
