    Description

    Job Summary:

    The Bilingual Pre-K Inclusion Teacher is a crucial member of the early childhood education team at Briya Public Charter School, a leading two-generation education program that serves parents and their young children. The school consistently achieves high educational outcomes through its innovative, family-centric programming.

    Briya's early childhood program caters to children from six weeks through pre-kindergarten. The dual-language Pre-K classes employ an inquiry-based curriculum, drawing inspiration from Reggio Emilia pedagogical principles and offering culturally sustaining education for emergent multilingual children. This approach involves collaborative work and daily play-based assessment in inclusive bilingual classrooms.

    While children attend the early childhood program, their parents participate in classes comprised of three integrated areas of study: English, child development, and digital literacy. Briya also offers workforce development programs for advanced students to pursue career-ready certifications.

    The school has a strategic partnership with Mary's Center, a Federally Qualified Health Center, further strengthening student families with comprehensive medical, dental, and social services. At three of its four campuses, Briya is co-located with Mary's Center.

    Key Responsibilities:

    • Curriculum and Instruction:
      • Provide specialized instruction and curriculum modifications for preschool-aged children with special needs in a bilingual inclusion model in two Pre-K classrooms.
      • Create individual plans for assigned students and share strategies and developments with general education teachers.
      • Carry out learning experiences across developmental areas and content areas, preparing special materials that support concept and skill development in an intentional and individualized way.
      • Follow a bilingual planned language approach and utilize evidence-based strategies to help emergent multilingual children build a strong foundation in oral and written language.
      • Use evidence-based strategies to establish caring connections with children, use co-regulation to help them regulate their emotions, and support their overall social-emotional development.
    • Assessment:
      • Plan and implement specialized instruction that advances children's IEP goals and monitor their progress through data collection, including observation, assessment, and seeking input from families and the instructional team.
      • Demonstrate strong knowledge and implementation of assessment practices, primarily through Teaching Strategies GOLD, to engage in ongoing cycles of documentation and reflection across content areas.
    • Family Engagement:
      • Demonstrate understanding of and competence for two-generation education by engaging with parents as children's first and most important teachers and building strong connections with families.
      • Learn about and honor families' various funds of knowledge and encourage them to contribute to the life of the classroom community.
      • Partner with classroom and site team members to help families overcome barriers that may impact children's academic or social development.
    • Contribution to a Community of Practice:
      • Contribute to creating a culture of learning and reflection in the school by engaging with research on early childhood education and strive to apply knowledge into daily practice.
      • Communicate and collaborate regularly with co-teachers about classroom practices, routines, the environment, and children.

    Values and Competencies:

    • Core Values:
      • Learner-Centeredness: Student agency and voice are foundational to high-quality education.
      • Inclusiveness: People of all backgrounds are integral to the Briya community.
      • Trust: A space of safety and mutual respect promotes optimal growth and belonging.
      • Collaboration: Strategic collaboration increases the holistic success of student families.
      • Equity: The pursuit of equity drives Briya's work.
    • Competencies:
      • Professionalism - Treats others with respect and consideration regardless of their status or position.
      • Safety and Security - Observes safety and security procedures.
      • Attendance/Punctuality - Is consistently at work and on time.
      • Dependability - Follows instruction and responds to management direction.
      • Teamwork - Can work well in multidisciplinary team settings with diverse cultural and educational backgrounds.

    Qualifications:

    • Education and/or Experience:
      • BA or MA in Special Education or Early Childhood Education with Special Education emphasis.
      • 2-7 years experience working directly with young children, including children who are emergent multilinguals and children with special needs.
      • Bilingual in English and Spanish with excellent communication skills.
      • Certified in Special Education or pursuing certification.
    • Reasoning Ability: Ability to apply common sense understanding to carry out moderately complex instructions and make appropriate independent decisions.
