About The Position

A JIES Classroom Teacher is a champion for students. JIES teachers work closely with their grade-level colleagues and administration to provide consistent, high-quality, challenging educational opportunities for each student. A JIES teacher is a quick learner who chooses a positive, solutions-focused mindset. He or she will do what is best for students, even under the most difficult circumstances. A JIES teacher is a professional who can work with many different personality types, and who speaks positively about and to staff, parents, and students. Every classroom has both a classroom teacher and an Instructional Assistant. The classroom teacher is responsible for the education of the students in his or her class and works closely with the instructional assistant to communicate with parents and support students. The JIES teacher implements Direct Instruction throughout the entire school day and works closely with instructional coaches to implement training and continually improve in teaching effectively. We have visitors regularly coming to JIES to see how our school achieves such a high level of success for both students and staff. Because we have a broad demographic of students, our high academic achievement data is worth noting. Subsequently, we want to have staff that have a "mission calling" to work with our wide range of students.
