TEACHERS
Do you have Structured literacy training or an OG background? A growth mindset and want to learn? A desire to learn to teach 2-4th graders who are struggling to read using structured literacy? We have full-time teaching positions open for our Model Classroom program in Central Brooklyn in District 17 and limited openings in the South Bronx (PS 642) for 2024-25 academic year.
COACHES
We are building a team of experienced literacy coaches who can support teachers at SBLA on a regular basis 1-2x/week in the morning; or teachers in LAC’s afterschool program in District I (Lower East Side) three afternoons/week. Coaches must have previous coaching experience, and experience with structured literacy/SoR. LAC will provide training in the specific curriculum used.
INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERS
We are hiring two full-time instructional leads. One to provide continued instructional support at our Bronx school and another to oversee a model classroom as we expand to Brooklyn. Instructional leads should be experienced administrators and/or teacher developers with a background in structured literacy, curriculum planning and coaching and should have experience working with students with language-based learning disabilities and other struggling readers.
STUDENT TEACHERS
SBLA is looking to host 2-4 student teachers. Placements can be part or full day for up to 20 weeks. We will work with schools of education to ensure that placement & supervisory requirements are met.
These placements will provide aspiring educators with hands-on experience in a dynamic literacy-focused environment, supporting students who face challenges such as dyslexia and other learning differences.
