Assistant Teacher - EHS - Children's Corner

University Settlement partners with 40,000+ New Yorkers in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn every year to build on our collective strengths as we achieve healthy, stable, and remarkable lives. For nearly 140 years, we’ve fought poverty and systemic inequality by building highly effective social services in collaboration with our neighbors. Established in 1886 as the first Settlement House in the United States, we bring the values of that movement into the 21st century by meeting New Yorkers where they live, listening deeply to all perspectives, and creating space for responsive cooperation.Joining with our neighbors to make stable foundations where people of all ages can grow and pursue their dreams, we build community strength. We infuse a commitment to civic engagement, equality, and communal action into each of our programs, which include early childhood education, youth development, healthy aging, mental health and wellness, English classes for adult immigrants, community centers, and the arts.Responsibilities:Under the guidance of the Teacher, plan and complete assignments in support of daily classroom program and activities.Conduct home visits at least twice per year for each familyProvide primary care to classroom childrenMaintain an organized, safe and sanitary classroom for childrenAssist with classroom set up and clean up on a daily basisComplete and document daily, weekly and monthly classroom maintenance responsibilitiesAssist in the development and implementation of the curriculumDevelop consistent, stable and supportive relationships with families and childrenBe part of a team in assessing family needs and child development status, and in creating classroom goalsMaintain proper documentations of classroom sessionsMaintain written observation of the children's experience in the classroomAssist in the recruitment of families for the programAttend and participate in program wide activities that include staff and parent meetings, events, trainings and professional development sessions as requiredMaintain up-to-date regulation required trainingsOther duties as requested by supervisor to fulfill job responsibilitiesQualifications:High School Diploma or HSE required, Bachelors degree preferredTeacher Assistant Certification or CDAExperience working with childrenBilingual English / Spanish or Chinese preferredWork Schedule: Full time, Monday - Friday, 8:00am - 4:00pm, 35 hours per weekWe are committed to building a diverse and inclusive community.
