    Job Description

    POSITION SUMMARY

    LearningWorks Afterschool (LWAS) serves academically low-performing PK-5th students in 11 elementary schools in Southern Maine. Students participate in hands-on challenges that embed literacy, math, and social emotional learning to build key skills for school success: academic confidence, taking initiative, problem-solving, communication, and perseverance. Eligible students are identified collaboratively by LWAS Directors, Site Coordinators, and school staff. LWASl is funded primarily through 21st Century Community Learning Center grants, and is offered in partnership with local school departments.

    The Classroom Teacher in the LWAS Summer Program will be responsible for planning and implementing a 4-days/week, 6-week program focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) curriculum and enrichment activities (health/wellness, cultural, social-emotional learning).

    Outside of live program time, additional time is allotted to attend key pre-program planning and staff meetings, and to participate in lesson planning and professional development. This is a part-time, fixed term summer position.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    • Be prepared daily with lesson plans, materials, and sub plans if absent.
    • Keep accurate and timely records of student class and activity attendance.
    • Participate in weekly team meetings to communicate program delivery, needs, reflection, and goals for improvement.
    • Participate in required professional development training.
    • Monitor the LearningWorks email account and other communication platforms daily, and communicate and respond in a timely manner
    • Conduct oneself in a professional manner at all times, in accordance with program expectations, online safety, and remote and in-person learning guidelines.
