Starting Date:
Aug 11, 2026

The Learning Lab Teacher (Middle Grades) is a specialized instructional role dedicated to driving student achievement through targeted academic intervention. Operating within the school's Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework, this educator designs and delivers Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions during the school day. A primary focus of the role is providing academic tutoring (focus on math) and teaching intervention classes/groups to close foundational learning gaps, scaffold core curriculum concepts, and explicitly teach essential executive functioning skills—such as organization, time management, and study habits—to build lifelong academic self-efficacy for middle school learners.

In addition, the Learning Lab teacher provides a trauma-sensitive space for students who may struggle with emotional regulation within the regular classroom, and works to provide continuity of education, outside of the general classroom. Founders Academy is located in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, and serves 168 student artists from across the state. We are looking for educators with:

• strong, standards-based lesson planning and development skills;
• student-centered approach; and
• commitment to being a participating team member.

Beacon Charter Schools Teachers:

• believe that 100% of students can learn and be successful in an environment of mutual respect and inclusion
• embrace and support the diversity of our school community and encourage students as they develop their unique identities
• engage families as partners in student success while recognizing and respecting differences in family backgrounds, structures, and cultures
• are results-driven, with excellent planning and organizing skills, and a collaborative attitude
• participate meaningfully in professional learning opportunities and enhance professional growth by giving and seeking assistance from others

• Candidates must hold an active Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) teaching certificate appropriate for the middle grades, with a preference given to educators holding Middle Grades or Secondary Mathematics certification and/or possessing a proven track record of successful math intervention experience.
• Citizenship, residency or work visa required
