Job Specification

Responsibilities

The emphasis of our library program and information resources is to:

Develop readers
Assist teachers with promoting literacy across contents through lessons that enhance school-wide curricula
Support all classroom instruction by providing an environment where students can further their research

The employee must be able to perform these assigned duties without significant risk of substantial harm to his/her own safety/security and the safety/security of others.

Collection of Resources

Plan rigorous lessons aligned to the college and career ready bar, applicable Louisiana State Standards, the ACT College Readiness Standards, and the school’s internal curriculum.
Teach students competencies with the ultimate goal being a self-driven healthy lifestyle.
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.

Innovation and Use of Technology

Encourage and support the use of technology and digital information resources to engage students in learning.

Supporting Instruction with Staff and Students

Build and strengthen connections between student information and research needs and all classrooms.
Collaborate with teachers and students to design and teach engaging inquiry and learning experiences.
Hold instructional sessions that demonstrate navigation of the library, journal databases, citing sources, conducting research, evaluating websites, etc.
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.
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.

Reflect on your data daily to know what your students need to track effectiveness of the library program.

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 literacy-rich model.
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 ensure students feel accountable to your 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.

Interventions and Supports to Meet the Needs of All Students

Teach to the diverse learning needs of every student. Take action on and responsibility for every student in your classroom regardless of incoming achievement level or diverse learning needs.
Help us bridge literacy gaps for all students.
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. Additional compensation will be paid for actual hours spent tutoring.

Teamwork that Drives the Success of our Whole 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.
