Upper School Academic Support Teacher (Part Time)

Goal: Provide specific academic support(s) to students within the structure of the classroom environment.  At times, a small group setting and/or short-term individual session might be needed to teach or reinforce a particular concept.

The role of the Academic Support Teacher (AST) is designed to focus on providing exceptional academic and organizational supports (i.e. Executive Functioning) as well as support in the areas of written and oral comprehension and reading fluency. 

Three  types of academic support are relative to the role of the Academic Support Teacher: 

  • Short-term is defined as supporting a student with a specific need to help that student achieve success in the short term

  • Mid-term is defined as a support needed to help a child master a skill, generally a support that needs to be in place during the school year

  • Long-term is when a multi-year plan is required to support a child with a specific, exceptional academic challenge that will need to be tracked through the child’s progression through the school’s program.  

The overall goal of these supports is to allow the student to achieve academic success as he or she becomes an independent learner. 

Guidelines of the position:

  • Identify the students who would benefit from this program, and establish learning goals even with Primary Teacher For these students, the AST will take the long-term view of the child’s development, specifically: 

    • Develop strategies to support the child’s learning.

    • Define achievable milestones for the child.

    • Collaborate with the Primary Teacher on how the strategies could be implemented in the classroom. 

    • In some cases, the AST will work in a co-teaching position to deliver specific support in the classroom. 

    • Document the strategies, successes, and progress that were effective (and ineffective) for the child.

    • Identify pertinent areas of intervention that will support the student

    • If a child should join our school with an existing IEP, the AST will determine what we as a school will be able to provide to best educate the child.  With respect to IEPs, the school is not in a position to agree to honor the requirements.  We are not a school with a Special Education program, but one that is attempting to meet the needs of all our students with our available resources. 

    • Addressing the individual learning styles of all students remains an important focus for all classroom teachers. The expectation is that most accommodations and extra help will continue to be handled by the Primary Teacher.  As part of his/ her role, the AST informs staff of current methodologies and supports accommodations in the classroom.

    • Communication and management of concerns remains the responsibility of the child’s Primary Teacher.  The AST works in partnership with the Primary Teacher within the structure of the school. 

    • Attend and participate in weekly Upper School faculty meetings and in some cases weekly faculty meetings

Qualification Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in elementary school education or similar, Master’s degree preferred

  • Proficient knowledge of teaching strategies and methods

  • Experience in the field of education

  • Outstanding organizational skills

  • Proficient computer skills

  • Valid driver’s license

  • Availability to work extended hours on occasion

  • Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills, with a professional and empathetic approach

  • Able to work well collaboratively

  • Excellent oral and written communication skills

  • Detail-oriented

  • High-energy and enthusiastic about working in an academic atmosphere
