26-27] NC Multilingual Learner (ML) Teacher

OUR MISSION

Movement Schools is a growing network of free, public charter schools. We exist to love and value scholars and communities by leading a movement of excellence in education. In partnership with our families, we equip our scholars with the tools to close generational gaps through self-efficacy, access to world‑class instruction, and financial education.

We are seeking a passionate, mission‑aligned Multilingual Learner (ML) Teacher to join our growing network of public charter schools. Our MLs bring rich linguistic and cultural assets to our classrooms every day — and they deserve teachers who see those assets, build on them, and accelerate their access to grade‑level content in English.

As a K-5 ML Teacher, you will design and lead high‑quality, standards‑aligned English language development (ELD) instruction that builds scholar proficiency across listening, speaking, reading, and writing. You will also partner with classroom teachers to ensure MLs receive integrated language support throughout the school day. When not in session with scholars, you will support school‑wide operations to keep our campus running smoothly.

As a K-5 Multilingual Learner Teacher, you will:

• Plan and deliver standards‑aligned English language development (ELD) instruction grounded in the WIDA English Language Development Standards Framework
• Deliver instruction through program service delivery models based on scholar language, academic, and grade‑level needs
• Use scaffolded, standards‑based, asset‑oriented instructional practices to accelerate access to grade‑level academic content
• Design language objectives alongside content objectives so every lesson develops both language and academic knowledge
• Build scholar academic vocabulary, oral discourse, and writing across the four language domains: listening, speaking, reading, and writing

• Administer, score, and analyze English language proficiency (ELP) assessments, such as WIDA Screener, WIDA ACCESS, or other related assessments
• Use scholar language proficiency data, formative assessments, and progress‑monitoring tools to inform instruction and identify next steps
• Track scholar progress toward reclassification criteria and celebrate proficiency growth
• Partner with classroom teachers to interpret language proficiency data and align instructional supports

• Partner with the Network Multilingual Learner Director to ensure compliance with federal Title III requirements, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), and the Equal Educational Opportunities Act (EEOA) as they apply to multilingual learners
• Maintain accurate multilingual learner records, home language surveys, service logs, and program documentation
• Support Home Language Survey administration, initial screening, program entry decisions, and required parent notifications within timelines
• Partner with the Exceptional Children team to support dually identified scholars (multilingual learners with IEPs or 504 plans)

• Coach classroom teachers on high‑leverage instructional strategies for multilingual learners (e.g., sentence frames, comprehensible input, structured discourse, visuals, cognates)
• Co‑plan with classroom teachers to design language‑rich, accessible core content lessons
• Model instructional strategies in classrooms and support teachers in adopting them
• Facilitate professional development on multilingual learner instruction, culturally responsive teaching, and asset‑based mindsets

• Partner with the Network Multilingual Learner Director to ensure required family communications are translated and delivered in the home language
• Collaborate with the schools’ Office Manager to bridge language access at family events, conferences, and school‑wide functions
• Celebrate the languages, cultures, and identities of our multilingual scholars and families…
