About Brilla Charter Schools
Brilla Public Charter Schools is a network of K-8th grade schools that currently serves nearly 1,800 students from Mott Haven, University Heights, and other neighborhoods in the Bronx. The network is growing from its current four elementary and two middle schools to five elementary and five middle schools educating some 4,000 students in the Bronx and Paterson, NJ. The Charter Management Organization (CMO) for Brilla Schools Network is Seton Education Partners, an organization inspired by the Catholic educational tradition, that also manages the Seton Teaching Fellows missionary program and El Camino, an after-school Catholic faith formation program. At the heart of the Seton educational mission is our dedication to help students become young men and women of good character and spirit who are prepared for excellence in high school, college, and beyond.
Brilla combines a Classical approach to education – an emphasis on an ennobling and content-rich curriculum, inductive inquiry-driven instruction, and virtue formation that fosters an encounter with Truth, Beauty, and Goodness – with co-teaching practices and individualized online instructional support. We approach the formation of our students holistically and maintain high academic expectations. Ours is a joyful community that honors the dignity of each student, our staff members, and the families we serve.
Position Overview
The primary responsibility of a Brilla elementary school teacher is to cultivate a classroom community of learners in which the imagination is awakened to limitless possibility, the mind is inspired to seek truth, and the heart is stirred by love to embrace goodness. As the model learner, the classroom teacher embodies the virtues of heart and mind that we aspire to nurture in children. The classroom is the seedbed where curiosity and love of learning bear the fruit of shared success. By maintaining a learning environment where every child feels loved and is encouraged to to strive for and meet Brilla’s ambitious targets, students experience personal triumph that is wed to academic accomplishment.
The elementary classroom teacher understands, plans, and executes lesson plans that facilitate the encounter with Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. The teacher couples tried-and-true instructional practices to innovative pedagogical methods to foster a deep love of learning in students.
Fine and Applied Arts teachers provide paradigmatic examples of teaching as the facilitation of an encounter between students and the object of study. The subject matter reinforces the regard for the physical components and mechanics of the learning experience, and the nature of the subject matter as a learned art provides unmistakable evidence of the demands for good character (humility, courage, persistence, etc.) as a condition for success. The elementary school FAA teacher must bring sufficient command of the subject matter to be able to adjust to the developmentally appropriate capacities of children across the Kindergarten - 4th grade span. Similarly, the teacher must be prepared to employ the instructional techniques and expectations that are developmentally specific to the age of the student. The teacher will not only provide students with the opportunity to develop skills, but to develop an understanding of the specific beauty of the Art form being learned.
This position requires an enthusiastic, flexible, solutions-oriented, organized, and creative educator prepared to challenge the educational status quo. Brilla teachers must have a deep passion for student-engaged learning, a desire to accept, implement, and seek feedback, and a proven ability to manage multiple concurrent tasks and responsibilities, while inspiring outstanding achievement in children in a joyful and collaborative work environment.
