The Green School of Baltimore, a small K-4 charter school focused on science inquiry and balanced literacy, is seeking a part-time reading teacher/specialist to work with two small groups of students in grades 1 and 2. This teacher will have responsibility for planning collaboratively with classroom teachers, and for teaching two, 45-minute lessons in word study and guided reading for four days a week (Monday – Thursday). The position will pay $25/hr. for 8 hours per week throughout the 2008-09 school year.

Please email resume and cover letter to Carla Finkelstein, staff developer, at c_finkelstein@yahoo.com.

KIPP Baltimore is currently seeking a certified reading specialist. KIPP is a fantastic Baltimore City Charter School and is opening its first elementary school next fall. I’ll be looking for 5 Kindergarten teachers to open our premier grade level. I’d love to get Towson Education students more involved – having been a Tiger myself, I’m always looking to support my alma mater. We also have volunteer opportunities for graduate students. Currently, KIPP is the highest performing school in Baltimore City. Our students are pulled at random from a lottery and it’s our “Work Hard. Be Nice.” motto that keeps us striving for excellence. KIPP is finding however that our 5th Graders are coming in lower and lower in terms of their reading skills. We’re hoping that having feeder elementary schools will make us even more successful in promoting college bound students to high school.
