Instructional Specialist - New York - Seton Education Partners

Description

Job Description

Seton Education Partners seeks a mission-driven, results-oriented individual to be the Instructional Specialist, Elementary Humanities of the Brilla Schools Network.

We are looking for a resourceful, organized and highly efficient team member who will provide outstanding support to both elementary school instructional staff and the Academics Team.

About Us

Co-founded in 2009 by KIPP pioneer Scott W. Hamilton and Teach for America alumna Stephanie Saroki de García, Seton Education Partners is a response to the dramatic decline of urban Catholic schools in America, which have served the economically disadvantaged so well for decades.

In 2013, amidst the shuttering of 60+ urban Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New York, Seton launched Brilla College Prep Public Charter School in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the South Bronx. Brilla, which means shine in Spanish, has achieved academic results that parallel the nation's most acclaimed high-poverty schools.

About Our Mission

Seton is working to take these remarkable achievements to scale by managing a network of schools and programs that ensure that thousands of underserved children whose Catholic schools close—and other local children—have access to an academically excellent, character-building, and, for those who choose it, faith-nurturing education.

About the Brilla Schools Network

The First Brilla charter school opened its doors in 2013, with 200 kindergarten and first graders, and currently serves over 1500 children in grades K-8 across five campuses in the North & South Bronx.

About El Camino

El Camino, which means The Way in Spanish, is an optional, privately funded Catholic after-school faith formation program for underserved children and families.

El Camino helps children, their families and their catechists to know, love and serve Christ and His Church; develop the habits, dispositions and beliefs that are indispensable to human flourishing and happiness; and live as disciples in this world and saints in the next.
