Instructional Staff Job Descriptions

Teacher, Battle Born Academy

Battle Born Academy is a new, innovative charter school that opened in 2022 with grades K-1 and 5-6, will serve grades K-7 in 2023-2024 and will continue growing until we are a K-8 school. We are currently seeking talented, highly effective educators for classroom instruction in various disciplines, including:

• Specials/Electives teacher
• English Language (EL) Teacher – All grades

Job Description

Instructional staff at Battle Born Academy are charged with carrying out the culture, academics, and relationships that define our model. Battle Born Academy leverages a project-based learning approach where ELA, math, science, and social studies are integrated into a single project block. Teachers unleash their skills to support students as they lead their own learning. Essential teaching practices include relationships, engaging content, differentiation, proactive management, and restorative justice.

Job Responsibilities – What am I responsible for?

All Instructional Roles

• Advisory course – a group of approximately 25-30 students they know and deeply care for. Advisors also contact families and have strong relationships with the students and those who care for them.
• Pod PLC Collaboration – all teachers are part of a pod PLC (a group of teachers from two grades + a Special Education teacher + an EL teacher). This group meets several times a week for data analysis, planning, collaboration, and professional learning.
• Contribute to the school systems and culture through additional duties, professional development, routines in their classrooms (such as attendance and grading), and other duties as necessary.
• Report to Assistant Principal or Principal

Classroom Teachers

Collaborate with grade-level pods to plan daily differentiated instruction in both Math and ELA, as well as the core project block. Teachers are not expected to be content experts in either ELA or Math but are expected to collaborate with other teachers, leverage a provided curriculum, and use data to make informed decisions about best practices for their students. Classroom teachers collaborate with their grade-level team, including SpEd and EL instructors, to prepare and execute small group interventions to ensure the needs of all learners are being met.

• Lead/co-lead ELA block

English Language and Special Education Teachers

Devise specific interventions, lead group teachings, and collect and analyze data on students’ progress. EL teachers also coordinate semi-annual testing for their grade level. Special Education teachers also manage a case load of individual students, conducting meetings, coordinating testing and accommodations, and preparing paperwork. Both EL and SpEd teachers help their grade-level team prepare and execute small group interventions to ensure the needs of all learners are being met.

• Lead/co-lead Math block

• Differentiate instruction for students
• Manage caseload

Specials/Electives Teachers

Job Outputs – How will my performance be measured?

• Maintain relationships with 100% of the students and families in advisory

Competencies – What skills and mindsets are necessary for the role?

• Effectively build relationships with students, families, and coworkers
• Reflect and engage with self-examination of bias, socio-political awareness, and cultural responsiveness

• Design and effectively facilitate project-based learning
• Collect, analyze, and act upon student-level data
• Differentiate to ensure every student gets what they need
• Collaborate with colleagues to improve instruction
