Behavior Support Teacher (Part Time)

Behavior Support Teacher (Part Time)

Immediate Opening- Part Time position

Henderson Collegiate is a mission-driven public college preparatory school located in rural Henderson, NC with an unrelenting focus on character development and student achievement. We believe in 51% character and 49% academics, as we will never sacrifice a moment to teach our students character traits that will help them become great people.

Our school serves students that come from traditionally underserved communities (approximately 85% receive free or reduced-price meals, and about 94% are students of color). However, we consistently rank in the top 9.7% of all NC schools and the top 1.3% of all NC Title I schools. Henderson Collegiate is committed to the idea that all students can learn and create a future for themselves that is full of opportunities. We know they can do this by attending and graduating from the colleges of their choice. Our students are proving what is possible and to date, 100% of our seniors have been accepted into a 4-year college or university.

We are both a team and family who leverage passionate people to be the best teachers and leaders that they can be. We believe in the idea that all of our staff members are school teachers, as opposed to classroom teachers, meaning that no matter your role, we are all willing to do whatever it takes to support all Henderson Collegiate students. We work together to make what most people say is impossible, happen.

We are looking for a Behavior Support Teacher to provide extended support and follow up for students at our Elementary School (grades K-4) with an Individualized Education Plan. The Behavior Support Teacher will monitor and model research/evidence based behavior intervention strategies. The Behavior Support Teacher will always work alongside another EC teacher and classroom teachers to ensure that behavior interventions are practiced with fidelity.
