Description:

Join our movement

Success Academy Charter Schools is a fast growing not-for-profit Charter Management Organization (CMO) that operates nine public charter elementary and middle schools throughout New York City (with three additional school openings planned for August 2012). Over the next decade, our network will grow to 40 schools that provide a phenomenal K-8 public education to NYC school children. Our dual mission is to:

1. Offer children in New York City an exceptional public education that prepares them to succeed in college and life.
2. Forever alter the educational prospects for all public school children by creating a “tipping point” – moving a nation where educational failure is the norm to a nation that expects high-quality public school options for all children

We are seeking Summer Teaching Fellows who are results-oriented, relentless and take a “Beyond Z” approach to teaching rigorous, engaging and high quality instruction.

Responsibilities

Ideal fellows are either recent college graduates or career changers who want to make a 6-week commitment this summer. There are two cohorts: One Fellowship will start in early June and conclude in mid-July. The second Fellowship cohort will start in mid-July and conclude at the end of August. This is a full time position, as we run an extended school day.

If we believe you have what it takes to be a member of our team, you could be asked to join Success Academy Charter Schools as a full time employee in the wide array of opportunities we have available.

Qualifications:

Our Success Academy Teaching Fellow must have an undergraduate degree and no formal teaching experience. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated leadership potential and has had previous internships and volunteer experiences.

• Accountability. Ensure you are there every day for training and for our scholars.
• Self-Reflection. Ability to accept and implement feedback received for real-time improvement.
