Bilingual ESL Flex Co-Teacher - IDEA Spears College Prep

Overview

Role Mission: IDEA Flex Co-Teachers are full time, additional para-professional staff hired by IDEA Public Schools with the intent of eventually filling a permanent co-teaching (para-professional) role on a campus when an aligned vacancy arises. This allows IDEA to put a qualified co-teacher into the classroom immediately after a vacancy is determined and minimizes the number of days that students miss out on valuable instruction by a qualified co-teacher.

Once hired by IDEA, our Flex Co-Teachers are assigned to a home-campus to fulfill various educator responsibilities as outlined below. When a permanent co-teaching vacancy arises either at the home-campus or other campuses in the region, our Flex Co-teachers participate in a matching interview with a campus leadership team for a permanent co-teaching placement. Vacancies may arise before or after the start of school year.

All IDEA co-teachers learn instructional strategies and develop their teaching skills in order to provide highly effective instruction to IDEA students. IDEA co-teachers are responsible for student instruction under the guidance of an IDEA teacher.

This position is grant-funded with Title III Part A funds. This is a grant-funded position and funding may be extended. A grant-funded position has no guarantee of ongoing and indefinite employment. All duties and responsibilities tied to this position are allowable and allocable to the grant. The employee will work solely (100%) on allowable activities outlined in the grant program.
