Exceptional Children's Teacher Assistant

Exceptional Children’s Teacher Assistant (full-time) DO YOU:

• have a passion for Exceptional Children support, the commitment to support student mastery of your content, and the critical thinking skills that will set our students up for success in college and beyond?
• believe that potential, not zip code, should determine a students’ trajectory for their future?
• believe in the power of being a girl and that all students have the potential to graduate from high school, go to college, and succeed in life?
• possess the willingness to collaborate with your colleagues and our school families, doing “whatever it takes,” to make our vision for our students a reality?

If so, you are a great candidate to teach at Girls Leadership Academy of Wilmington, and we encourage you to apply for our current Exceptional Children’s Teacher Assistant position.

At the heart of GLOW Academy is a focus on “whole girl” education. We seek to foster the growth of leadership and confidence in our students and build and sustain family support, all while engaging all of our students in a rigorous college preparatory program. This means that GLOW emphasizes the following areas to ensure that each girl has a successful 6-12 experience and continues on to college: leadership development, early college and career awareness, health and wellness and expanded opportunities in science, technology, math and the arts.

GLOW is adding to its Exceptional Children’s team of 7 teachers with the addition of a full time One-On-One Teacher Assistant. This main role for the One-on-One assistant is to provide individualized support to one student with special needs, ensuring their safety, comfort, and active participation in educational activities. This role involves assisting with personal care, fostering an inclusive learning environment, and under the supervision of the classroom teacher, implementing individualized education plans (IEPs).

A secondary role for this position is to assist the teacher with other students in the classroom and perform other duties as assigned.

At GLOW we recognize that teachers are the heart of the instructional program at our school. Therefore, the Girls Leadership Academy of Wilmington is committed to the recruitment and retention of the highest caliber educators dedicated to our mission and our students. We get excited about educators who are fired up about learning; who want to spend their time discussing, preparing and immersing themselves in the content they’re about to teach and how they will teach it;

and who yearn to work collaboratively with their colleagues to build a truly integrated curriculum experience for students. We’re looking for educators who believe that family and community partnerships are crucial and reach out beyond their classrooms to build relationships that support student learning and success. We value a hunger for feedback and the desire to engage in an ongoing process of reflection and growth for students and faculty.

Above all, we are looking for educators who are passionate and committed to single gender education and our ultimate goal of closing the achievement gap for all our girls at GLOW.
