KIPP JACKSONVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools  is part of the KIPP national network. Together with families and communities, we create joyful, academically excellent schools that prepare students with the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose – college, career, and beyond – so they can lead fulfilling lives and build a more just world.

High quality teaching in our classrooms is not only about getting great academic results; it must also be about encouraging and equipping our students to use their voices to call out injustice and to build a more just world. We are more committed than ever to making sure ALL decisions that affect students at KIPP Jacksonville are filtered through a lens of equity and racial justice.

In the 2022-23 school year, the KIPP Jacksonville region will be comprised of four schools educating 2000+ students, kindergarten through tenth grade, in the North and Westsides of Jacksonville, Florida:

• KIPP Impact Academy: Kindergarten- 2nd, 6th – 8th grade
• KIPP VOICE Academy: Kindergarten – 7th grade
• KIPP Bessie Coleman Academy: Kindergarten – 8th grade
• KIPP Bold City High School: 9th and 10th grades

To support these schools, we will employ approximately 300 full-time staff members. We seek educators and colleagues that represent our core values of high expectations, growth mindset, commitment to team, trust, joy, and sustainability.

KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools seeks an instructor for our middle school math lab. This teacher focuses on supporting students as an extra layer of support beyond their core mathematics instruction.

The teacher’s role is to pull groups of students, track academic progress, and ensure students are accessing the blended learning pieces that support their academic growth. In addition, they will prepare lessons that reflect best practices and accommodations for individual differences of students.

The math lab instructor will run their own classroom of students  as part of the specials block of the school day. They will see every student across the middle school grade levels (5-8) and will provide both enrichment and intervention. Whole group instruction is part of the block, but this teacher will also be expected to pull small groups, facilitate students’ use of instructional technology platforms, and assist students with monitoring math growth goals. They will assess student learning through observations, authentic performance, and more formal methods, in an ongoing manner, providing frequent student feedback, information to parents and written progress reports. 

All teachers are responsible for creating a positive environment for their students, implementing and/or creating curriculum, assessing students, building relationships with our families, collaborating with their team and other duties as assigned. Full teacher responsibilities are ultimately outlined by their School Leader.

For the 2022-23 school year, teachers at KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools (K-8) will work from 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday and may have occasional meetings or special school events outside of these hours. Student hours are typically 8:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Every Wednesday is a student early release day (1:30 p.m.), which allows teachers to participate in weekly professional development.

OUR CURRENT MODEL

The specials schedule is subject to change and can vary from school to school. The specials team consists of up to seven teachers for the entire school, depending on the size of the school. Each specials teacher instructs students across multiple grade levels.

Depending on the specials area subject, the teacher may travel to classrooms or have students transition to their own classroom space. Class size is typically ~26 students and typically a teacher will see a class about twice per week in a given rotation.
