About Peninsula Bridge

Peninsula Bridge empowers motivated, under-resourced students to achieve college and career success through individualized support and transformational educational opportunities. Our 13-year holistic program model provides academic and personal support for students from 4th grade through college graduation. With a high-quality teaching staff, engaging curriculum, and a long-term commitment from participants and their families, Peninsula Bridge prepares students for success in school, college, career, and life.

Job Description

Instructors will teach a class of 15-20 students using the Peninsula Bridge curriculum. For one semester, they will teach their 4th-grade class ELA, and for the other, they will teach the same class Math. The lessons focus on strengthening English-language writing and reading skills, as well as grade-level math skills. The after-school curriculum is based on Common Core standards. No curriculum design is required, and all lesson plans and materials will be prepared and provided by Peninsula Bridge.

Classes meet twice per week during the academic year after school hours. Instructors are responsible for being well-prepared for all sessions and for reading all communications (lesson plans, email announcements, etc.). In addition to teaching, there are monthly site debrief meetings, 2-3 training sessions outside of the regularly scheduled program time, and collaboration with the site-based coordinator and instructional lead. Instructors are expected to analyze student work and assessments to inform their teaching. At the conclusion of each semester, instructors will provide an assessment and narrative comment for each student.

Instructors are part of a collaborative site-based team with four to five other teachers, a Site Coordinator who is also a full-time Peninsula Bridge Staff member, and an Instructional Lead who reports to the Director of Middle School Programs.
