School Year: 2022-2023
Location: Headquarters-Rio Grande Valley
Region: Upper Rio Grande Valley, TX
Category: Instructional
Job Type: Full-Time
Description
Role Mission: IDEA Flex Special Education Teachers are full time, additional teaching staff hired by IDEA Public Schools with the intent of eventually filling a permanent teaching role on a campus when an aligned vacancy arises. This allows IDEA to put a qualified teacher into the classroom immediately after a vacancy is determined and minimizes the number of days that students miss out on valuable instruction by a qualified teacher.
Once hired by IDEA, our Flex Teachers are assigned to a "home-campus" to fulfill various educator responsibilities as outlined below. When a permanent teaching vacancy arises either at the “home-campus” or other campuses in the region, our Flex teachers participate in a matching interview with a campus leadership team for a permanent teaching placement. Vacancies may arise before or after the start of school year.
All IDEA teachers are responsible for ensuring that every IDEA student masters the academic and social skills necessary to succeed in college, while also embodying IDEA’s values daily.
IDEA teachers set ambitious goals for student achievement and invest students and families in accomplishing them; create a powerful learning environment; plan and deliver purposeful, rigorous instruction; assess for mastery and track student progress toward goals; analyze data to intervene and adjust instruction; and seek excellence as an educator and an IDEA team member.
