Job Description:
Teacher Positions – Career and Technical Education
All of our teachers are leaders with unique opportunities to create pathways
for success for every student and other teachers in the years to come. This
is a rare opportunity for teachers who are looking to increase their
responsibility and impact within a school and across our state.

Planning for College and Career Ready Bar

Plan rigorous lessons aligned to the college and career ready bar. Use the
Louisiana State Standards, the ACT College Readiness Standards, and the
school’s internal curriculum to align all of your planning.
Teach students competencies aligned with the curriculum.
Utilize curriculum assessments at the daily, weekly, and unit level to
measure what your students learned: Daily Exit Tickets (formative) to know if
you were successful in teaching that day; Weekly or Unit Assessments
(summative) to assess students learning. For each assessment, create your
ideal student response or mastery response to clearly define the bar of rigor
your students must reach.
Utilize curriculum summative assessments to test overall mastery at the unit
level that are aligned to the end of year assessment for your course.
Know your standards deeply. Ensure lessons demonstrate your knowledge and
passion for your content. Lessons must drive mastery and investment in your
content from every student you teach.
Culture That Builds Strong and Positive Student Identities and Investment
Ensure your students know that you believe in them as well as know what you
expect from them and why.
Create a classroom culture where 100% of your students are engaged in your
lesson and doing rigorous thinking at every moment throughout your lesson.
Create and cultivate an environment that is a model of the industry your
course represents through classroom discussions, attire, room set-up and
décor, and student expectations for behavior.
Create and leverage a classroom narrative along with the school system of
positive behavior support and positive discipline to build strong and
positive student identities.  Use praise and recognition to ensure your
students know what you value. Use corrections and consequences to teach
expected behavior while holding students accountable to high standards.
Build relationships with students that let them know you care about them as
individuals. Leverage those relationships to push your students to the
highest heights academically and as people.
Use Restorative Approaches with every student when approaching corrections
and consequences. Work hard to keep your students in class and only send a
child out when he or she needs time to step back, re-center, or reflect on
something that needs improvement behaviorally.
Incorporate best practices received in trainings on social and emotional
learning for students and model the use of these strategies.
Check in with students monthly to support positive student relationships and
to identify potential concerns. For example, attendance, grades, discipline
and other concerns.
Ensure regular communication every month with parents so they also know you
are invested in their child.
Lesson Execution Using Data Throughout the Lesson Cycle

Execute the lessons you’ve planned with fidelity and at the highest level,
ensuring 100% of your students are engaged in your lesson and doing rigorous
thinking at every moment.
Bring passion, joy, and energy to your execution. Ensure students reflect the
level of passion, joy and energy you feel as a result of your execution.
Gather data throughout your lesson to ensure students at all levels in your
classroom are mastering the material. Use these Checks for Understanding to
pivot your lesson in the moment.
Ensure your lessons drive towards both mastery of the Exit Ticket for that
day and mastery in the larger themes of your unit: The Enduring
Understandings and Essential Questions.
Reflect on your data daily to know what your students learned and what they
didn’t learn. Make a plan to fill in those gaps the following day and
retest later on.
Interventions and Supports to Meet the Needs of All Students

Teach to the diverse learning needs of every student you teach. Take action
on and responsibility for every student in your classroom regardless of
incoming achievement level or diverse learning needs.
Plan and execute strong interventions designed to help students address
deficiencies that need targeting in order to pass credentialing exams within
the Response to Intervention (RtI) framework to ensure every child can master
the material in your class every day.
Track data to assess the efficacy of your interventions. If interventions
aren’t working, find new interventions to test out to ensure all students
are growing as fast as possible towards their goals.
Ensure all students have high quality accommodations and modifications in
place to meet their unique needs.
Commit to a minimum of one hour, two days per week of tutoring.
Commit to facilitating study sessions/workshops before administering any
credentialing exams.
Teamwork that Drives the Success of our Whole School

Actively participate in all team meetings including but not limited to: our
daily Morning Meeting, Weekly Grade Level and/or Department meetings,
Professional Development, Network Wide Data Days on a quarterly basis, and
Monthly Professional Learning Community meetings.
Collaborate with others to drive the success of your grade level and school.
Seek solutions to problems you see constantly. Constantly look across the
school and ask yourself, “How can our school be better tomorrow?”
Proactively propose solutions and ideas to improve the school.
