Role OverviewYou'll teach in a supportive UPK classroom with a clear curriculum structure and strong district alignment, so you're never starting from scratch. You'll work with four-year-olds at a pivotal developmental stage, where growth in early literacy, social-emotional skills, and independence is rapid and rewarding. You'll be part of a collaborative Special Class in an Integrated Setting, partnering closely with your co-teacher, paraprofessionals, and related service providers.
What You Will Do
Implement the Creative Curriculum, Foundations, and Heggerty with fidelity, and participate in all required district training. Plan and deliver developmentally appropriate, inclusive instruction aligned with NYS Early Learning Standards. Support early literacy, numeracy, language development, and social-emotional learning through play-based, child-centered instruction.
Why It Might Be a Fit
You'll receive ongoing professional development in early childhood education, inclusive practices, and multilingual learner support. You'll benefit from a rare employer-paid childcare option, easing one of the biggest challenges for working parents.
