Who You Are
Our ideal candidate for Learning Support Coordinator has an unwavering belief that our scholars can achieve at an exceptionally high level. Beyond that, they are:
Deeply committed to serving our kids. You have elected to work with historically underserved scholars, and do this work because you believe that all scholars, regardless of background, are capable of excellence - and that it’s on us as adults to get our kids there. You can speak knowledgeably about our mission, and demonstrate a commitment to our educational model. You understand that the challenges faced by scholars in New York City are unique and specific, and you’re excited to work within the communities we serve.
… and a champion of the All Means All mindset. You believe passionately that all students - including students with disabilities and multilingual learners - can and will achieve the highest academic outcomes, and you never tolerate the lowering of the bar for specific subgroups of scholars. You get excited thinking about how to think differently about supporting students, and you have a proven toolkit achieving outcomes for a diverse range of scholars.
A masterful executor. You appreciate the big picture, but you know it's all in the details. Your organizational systems ensure you get things done. You prioritize your time and fervently plan to maximize the time each day you spend moving adult practice. You do the things you say you’ll do, and you communicate when you won’t. You delegate when needed, set deadlines, and hold others accountable to get across important finish lines.
A Student Support Guru. You understand the complexities of implementing and managing a student supports program, and you are deeply knowledgeable about IEP, ILPs, and compliance in the state of New York.
… and a Stickler for Details. You have a fine attention to detail, and you are capable of ensuring that the Student Supports program is in 100% compliance with state and federal guidelines. You are excited to take the time to review IEP files, and you can implement systems to streamline and support the compliance side of Student Supports.
An A+ Communicator. You’ve got a knack for speaking and writing clearly, succinctly and persuasively. You think about time, place, and format to share a message that will resonate to accomplish your goals, and you know how to tailor your communication to different audiences.
A gritty problem-solver. You keep it cool when facing challenges, approach problems with viable solutions, and know when you need to roll up your sleeves to support your team.
