option of transitioning to full-time, designed for an educator who possesses strong

writing skills and is a certified English teacher.

Our student population is diverse, and many of our incoming students are 1 to 3 years

behind in their reading and writing levels. Because the core mission of TJBA is

preparation for college, the ideal candidate must be skilled in diagnostic assessment,

scaffolded instruction, and accelerated literacy development to close achievement gaps

rapidly and equip young men with the rigorous communication skills required for higher

education.

Utilize evidence-based writing methodologies—such as the Writing Workshop model,

who are 1–3 years behind.

Balance the explicit teaching of writing conventions (spelling, grammar, and

paragraphing) with high-leverage ideation and self-regulation strategies.

Prepare all students for the demands of college-level writing, focusing on expository,

argumentative, analytical, and research-based essays.

2. Cultivating a Community of Writers

Act as a writing mentor by maintaining an active writer's notebook and sharing your own

writing process, drafts, and revisions with students to "show, not tell."

Establish a safe, kind, and trusting classroom environment that fosters a collaborative

"community of practice," encouraging students to take creative risks and write with

authentic voice.

Introduce diverse, modern, and high-interest mentor texts to capture students' interests,

spark critical thinking, and inspire original compositions.

3. Individualized Intervention & Feedback

Conduct regular, utilize digital feedback tools (e.g., Google Docs) to provide actionable,

voice-preserving feedback.

Differentiate instruction to accommodate diverse learning styles, cultural backgrounds,

and varying entry-level writing abilities.

Monitor, track, and analyze student writing growth over time, adjusting instructional

interventions to ensure every student reaches or exceeds grade-level college readiness

benchmarks.

4. Institutional & Collaborative Duties

Collaborate with humanities and science faculty to integrate writing across the

curriculum.

Participate in professional development, including training offered by The Nativity

Miguel Network.

Serve as an academic advisor, coach, or arts facilitator depending on background and

skills.

Required Qualifications & Experience

Education: Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution is required; a Master’s

degree in English, Creative Writing, or Secondary Education is highly preferred.

Certification: Valid state teaching certification in English/Language Arts (Secondary

Education, Grades 7–12).

Writing Expertise: Exceptional personal writing skills with a deep understanding of the

cognitive and social complexities of the writing process.

Instructional Experience: Proven track record of successfully teaching diverse student

populations and implementing reading/writing interventions for struggling learners.

Mission Alignment: A deep commitment to the value of a college preparatory education

for young men and a willingness to support the school's extended day/year model.

Clearances: Candidates must successfully complete and submit Pennsylvania Child
