Job Description
Job DescriptionSalary: $40,000-$60,000School Overview
Founded by seven community members in 2014, Jefferson RISE Charter School will have 740 students in grades 6-12 for the school year.

We believe in educating the whole child, supporting both an academic foundation as well as building students' social-emotional skills and readiness for long-term college and career success. Our model includes:
Since our founding, we have achieved remarkable results with our students. In the school year (the latest year with available data), our 8th graders outperformed both district and state achievement levels in all subject areas, and our high school earned an "A" growth grade from the Louisiana Department of Education. We have also found that students who spend more time at our school are significantly more likely to score proficient or advanced on end-of-year exams.

Special education teachers are responsible for the development and execution of a standards-aligned curriculum, continuous improvement of their instructional practices based on feedback and support, and collaboration on areas of instructional and/or curricular need at the school.

Jefferson RISE Staff stays one day per week for after school tutorials.
As a charter school, Jefferson RISE sets its own academic calendar and daily/weekly schedule based on the needs of its students. Staff generally work from mid-July (beginning with professional development before students arrive) through late May.
Teachers expected to stay after school one day a week for tutoring or other afterschool activities. Weekly professional learning opportunities are provided on Fridays.
