Classroom Teacher

Develop yearly unit plans and weekly lesson plans. All plans should include outcomes, assessments, resources, vocabulary, and differentiation strategies.  All plans must be available for the Principal upon request and for the teacher’s absence.

Maintain pupil records of achievement: anecdotal records, writing samples, homework completion, portfolios, and records of parent meetings.

Use assessment results to determine next steps of growth on a class-wide basis and for individual student’s growth.

Participate productively in:

• All team meetings
• All staff meetings
• All professional development days, meetings, and/or workshops
• Curriculum development
• Instructional in-services
• Textbook adoption programs
• Meetings with parents, either initiated by the school, or parent
• Plan and prepare assignments, experiments, assessments, demonstrations, teaching aids, bulletin boards, homework, etc.
• Plan, organize, and supervise students at assemblies and other special programs, making a professional contribution to overall school operation.
• Meet with parents, at teacher, parent, or principal’s request.
• Attend Parent/Teacher conferences, Open Houses/Orientation, and other such events, and as needed during the year.
• Maintain consistent, honest, and whenever possible, positive communication with parents throughout the year by responding to or initiating contact through phone calls, emails, meetings, or agenda notes.
• Work positively and professionally with all students and their families, but in particular, high risk students, understanding that positive teacher/student/parent relationships are often a determinant of school success.
• Attend duties on time and take the opportunity to interact positively with students and parents. Show professional behavior at all times. Eating, drinking or using a mobile during supervision or duty will result in receiving a warning letter.
• Meet report card expectations and due dates as set by the Principal.
