About The Position

Eastpointe Community Schools is in the business of transforming lives. Our partnership with the Macomb Intermediate School District (MISD), Michigan Department of Education (MDE), and the University of Virginia’s Partners for Leaders in Education (UVA-PLE) has created a unique opportunity for rapid district turnaround. Part of our continued growth and improvement involves increasing educational expectations, developing a culture of support, and nurturing all students to address academic, behavioral, and interpersonal needs. Look for energetic teacher and staff teams, data analysis, academic coaching, and extra-curricular activities opportunities, including after-school clubs/organizations in our schools. We offer 1:1 technology for our students, online programs that support academic curriculum, and multi-grade level field trips. We support our students with Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). While all schools face challenges, at Eastpointe we all roll up our sleeves and work together to get things done. Our district appreciates talents and skills that others may have missed and embraces disruptive leaders willing to challenge the status quo. As a paraprofessional in our district, you will work side by side with the principal and teacher leaders who will help move you and your program forward. You will support grade-level content, assessment, technology, and student testing. You will find tremendous opportunities for professional learning in Eastpointe, as continuous growth is an expectation for all employees. We pride ourselves on creating a culture of continuous improvement with educators who feel this work is a calling, and where every interaction with students counts. If you are passionate about student literacy, the PLC process, supporting excellent instruction, using student data, and growing strong relationships with families, students, and our community, we are looking for you! If you want to be a positive and productive member of a school team, and are looking for leadership opportunities, we want you!
