One-on-One Aides (Paraprofessionals) work with children who possess special needs, one-on-one. They support the academic and social success of these children by providing 1:1 paraprofessional services throughout the school day, guided by a student's teachers. We are looking for a permanent building sub to be both a Special Education Substitute Teacher and a Substitute Paraprofessional.

Assistant teaching or substituting with us is an entre' to landing a full-time lead teaching position.

We add a grade level and hire approximately 10 new lead teachers each year. School leaders use assistant teaching and permanent subs as an opportunity to see potential lead teacher hires in action. They observe assistant teachers and subs in the classroom and include assistant teachers and subs in teacher professional development initiatives, significantly advancing an assistant teacher's prospects for being hired as a full-time lead teacher. (Indeed, each year several formerly assistant teachers and/or subs have been promoted to a lead teacher position.)

Given the above, assistant teachers and subs are generally expected to have the capacity to pick-up a lesson plan and deliver first-rate instruction if a teacher is out so that the learning progress of our students will not miss a beat.

If you believe you are ready to lead a classroom and are looking for an opportunity where you can showcase your high-level skills and land a full-time position, you should apply for this position.

One-On-One Aide/Paraprofessional Responsibilities:

• Assist a student's teachers in providing classroom accommodations;
• Collaborate with our special education coordinator and with a student's teachers by implementing interventions they have designed to support the student and to improve student focus and behavior;
• Reinforce and model Empowerment Academy's core values and standards of behavior for your students, following the example of our school leaders, teachers and other school staff;
• Receive coaching positively and participate in professional development activities designed by school leaders to improve your professional practice, especially as it relates to student behavioral management, student instruction, student social development and school culture;
• When working with a student on an academic exercise, do not short-circuit student thinking by providing the answer, such as through spelling out a word. Help the student grow by challenging the student to use skills that have been learned, such as phonetically sounding out the letters in a word.
• Perform other duties to support the ongoing development of a student, classroom, or our school environment, as deemed appropriate by our teachers, special education coordinator, and school leadership.
• Be extremely flexible and fill other roles as needed, as would a substitute.
• Understand that your schedule may change day to day.

As equal opportunity employers, BelovED and Empowerment Academy hire without consideration to race, religion, creed, color, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, or disability.
