This educator will provide ENL services across multiple KIPP NYC schools, supporting students in grades K–12, with a primary focus on those at the Entering, Emerging, and Transitioning levels of English proficiency. The Regional ENL Teacher collaborates closely with school-based leaders, including Directors of Student Support Services, classroom teachers, and regional staff, to ensure services are aligned to both compliance requirements and KIPP NYC’s vision for excellent, inclusive instruction. Reporting to the Senior Director of Student Support Services, the Regional ENL Teacher plays a key role in delivering high-quality, equitable language instruction, strengthening systems of support for multilingual learners, and ensuring that every student is known, challenged, and supported to achieve at the highest levels. This is a full-time, hybrid position. The role requires a minimum of three in-person days per week, which may take place at the KIPP NYC Midtown Manhattan regional office and/or at KIPP NYC campuses across the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, depending on student needs and service delivery priorities. The cadence and frequency of school visits will be determined in partnership with your manager and may vary week to week based on student caseloads, school schedules, and programmatic needs. As such, flexibility is essential, as weekly schedules may shift to ensure all students receive mandated and high-quality ENL services. Travel between sites is an expected and essential component of this role.
