MUSIC TEACHER

JOB DESCRIPTION

Position Description

Under the supervision of the principal, the music teacher will be responsible for teaching the various components of music education to K-8 scholars on a daily and weekly basis.

The teacher is responsible for the values-based education of the students entrusted to his/her care through both delivery of the instructional program and modeling of appropriate skills, attitudes and behaviors. There is no more important relationship in the school than that between the teacher and student. A teacher at Catalyst must be mission driven and results oriented. He or she must hold the belief that not only can all students learn, but that they will learn. The Catalyst teacher must take steps to gain command of the curriculum and the classroom and assume responsibility for the success of each child.

The teacher is immediately accountable to the principal. It is the teacher’s duty to utilize every possible resource to drive his/her students toward superior academic outcomes in a highly structured, respectful, disciplined environment that maximizes the use of instructional minutes and reflects Catalyst’s character traits and values.

Requirements

Have a strong understanding of music education and the Illinois Arts Learning Standards.
Previous experience working with children either volunteering or teaching music in a formal setting.
Demonstrated ability to lead multiple classrooms at different grade levels.
Professional Educators License with a music endorsement.
Ability to create and maintain positive and supportive relationships with all scholars and staff.
Extremely organized and ability to manage multiple tasks at once.

Professional Responsibilities

Be present in the building from 7:25am – 3:15pm Monday through Friday and participate in faculty in-service, team meetings or professional development on Fridays as scheduled after student dismissal at 1:00 PM on Friday.
Adhere to and support all school policies as set forth in the staff and student handbooks.
Maintain classroom protocols and procedures that demonstrates discipline, order and rigor aligned with Catalyst’s cultural values and expectations.
Establish attainable, stretch, and challenge goals for specific, measurable student outcomes for the classroom and for each student - that are aligned with network goals.
Begin class at outlined times and be prepared to supervise any student in the building at any time.
Teach, as a member of a grade level or departmental team, those classes assigned by the principal; design and implement curriculum; keep a written record of unit and daily lesson plans and a written record of student evaluation, both of which remain the property of the school.
Adhere to and enforce all school policies as set forth in the staff and student handbooks.
Actively participate in all staff orientations, meetings, in-services, grade or department level team meetings, parent meetings, student conferences or staff mission days.
Reflect critically on teaching practice and implement improvement strategies as needed.
Implement with high fidelity all components of the Catalyst Schools education programs, which include web-based programs/curriculum, interim assessment implementation and data analysis, and differentiated instructional strategies.

Professional Values

A Catalyst teacher must live these professional values:

Base all decision making on what is best for students and what lends greatest integrity to the academic program and what supports the school’s values-based philosophy.
Believe that a highly structured and disciplined environment that maximizes instructional minutes is the key factor that empowers a young learner and unleashes their freedom – and that the teacher is in total control of creating that environment.
Seek out knowledge to improve teaching skills: learn about content area subject matter; probe more deeply into the programs being used in the classroom and school; learn about and reflect on Catalyst cultural values, character traits, and mission beliefs and implement them in the classroom.
Use “good judgment” in all cases taking ownership for professional behavior and accept correction from the principal and/or administrative team when they deem it necessary.
Be relentless in ensuring the students that you teach achieve academic success.
Believe and accept the responsibility that you are the primary driver for your students’ academic success.
Nurture an environment that is studious, disciplined, focused, and on task.
Establish and follow through on classroom routines and procedures.
Share thoughts, inspiration and business with colleagues especially grade or department level team.
Keep self and space neat and clean and dress professionally.
Address conflict as soon as it arises with another staff member appropriately and not in front of children; use good communication skills to address issues privately, respectfully, professionally and quickly.
