Job Description

As a national thought leader in deeper learning , Harlem Village Academies is distinguished as the only charter school network in New York offering Montessori PreK and culminating in the International Baccalaureate . HVA is a community of PK-12 schools, a college support program, and a graduate school, the Deeper Learning Institute , where teachers earn a master’s and certification.

The unique deeper learning model at HVA focuses on student independence, critical thinking, ethical leadership, intellectual curiosity, and intrinsic motivation. Serving 98% Black and Latino students, HVA consistently outperforms the district, city, and state by wide margins, and ranks at the very top of charter schools. 100% of HVA high school students earn admission to college each year, and 83% are the first in their families to attend college.

  • Teachers love the small, close community : HVA teachers enjoy a special esprit de corps! Teachers are close with leaders and enjoy a warm relationship with colleagues.

Responsibilities

  • Invest several hours per week in professional learning, including personalized instructional coaching, co-planning, department meetings, grade level meetings and other learning work
  • Build strong, lasting relationships with students, inspiring them to hold themselves to a high standard of academics and character
  • Establish and uphold classroom expectations that support students to develop increased agency, responsible autonomy and ownership over learning
  • Analyze assessment data and use it to inform your instruction
  • Collaborate with colleagues to share best practices and ensure student mastery of standards
  • Maintain close relationships with families, including phone calls and conferences
  • Contribute to the school community by attending school events, leading a club, reading group, athletic team, or other initiative

Qualifications

  • 2-3 years of relevant teaching experience required, 5+ years of teaching experience preferred
  • Strong track record of student achievement in your past teaching
  • Ability to create a class environment in which students feel safe, supported and challenged to engage deeply in meaningful work

Deeper Learning Institute

Teachers are able to apply for the Deeper Learning Institute (DLI), a graduate program specifically for HVA educators. Attending DLI is an exceptionally unique opportunity to complete graduate work immersed in the study of deeper learning with a cohort of HVA colleagues. DLI is housed right here at HVA and courses are directly relevant to our teacher’s daily practice. Completing DLI, a two year program, results in both a master’s degree and certification in elementary (childhood grades 1-6 developmental level) and special education (students with disabilities).
