Academic Intervention FellowStart Date: August 2024 or rolling Role Type: Full-Time, 10 monthLocation: Washington, DCSalary Range: $46,000 - $63,000FLSA Status: ExemptWHO WE ARE

DC Prep is a high performing network of public charter schools serving over 2,100 preschool through 8th-grade students across six campuses in Wards 5, 7, and 8. We're proud of the high bar we set for ourselves to achieve results-our students deserve our best! We recognize that how we support our students to be successful is just as important as the results we achieve, which pushes us to reflect on questions such as:

How can we facilitate our students' academic, social, and emotional development?
How can we support our team members' professional growth and personal ability to do this work long-term?
How can we engage our students' families as our own?

While this work is hard, it's worth it - we believe in the transformative power of education, the can-do-itness of our students and staff, and the joy that comes from engaging in meaningful work with people we care about and trust!

Here's how we drive results:

Rigorous academic focus. Our Preppies receive the highest level of academic preparation through standards-based instruction, daily targeted interventions, and meaningful assessments.
Social-emotional learning. We have always had a dual mission of academic and social-emotional skill development. Our research-based SEL curriculum is integrated into daily instruction, helping students leverage their personal values to strengthen their self-awareness, social awareness, and responsible decision-making skills and create a school-wide culture of empathy and reflection.
Commitment to reflection and refinement. Our results tell us that we are moving in the right direction, but there's further to go to ensure that every student receives a transformative education. As a team, we regularly reflect on our programmatic model to see what's working and where we can get better.

ACADEMIC INTERVENTION FELLOWS AT DC PREP

Academic Intervention Fellows (AIFs) play an essential role in supporting DC Prep's mission to help every student succeed academically and socially. Our AIFs work in tandem with General Educators and Special Educators to support the curriculum implementation and instructional delivery critical to the success of students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). As an AIF, you'll support a student throughout his or her literacy and math classes in the general education setting as well as provide small group and one-on-one interventions based on assessment data.

This role serves as an entryway into DC Prep's special education pipeline and is designed to help novice educators develop into strong special educators. To support our pipeline of special educators, we offer AIFs the necessary professional development to acquire the knowledge, skills, and experience to become effective educators in urban school environments. Throughout the AIF program, you'll benefit from frequent observations and coaching that will enable you to assume a teaching position with DC Prep.
