Job Description:

The mission of the CHIME Charter Middle School is to provide an inclusive learning community where all students, parents, and professionals appreciate and value diversity in all its forms. We educate students to become conscientious, responsible citizens, whereby they assume the role of life-long learners as they reflect upon and contribute to the cultural and civic life of the community. All students, grades 6th through 8th grade, are supported to achieve high standards in both their academic and personal development through an educational program based on constructivist approaches, and designed to engage students in problem solving activities at levels appropriate to their individual needs.

In collaboration with California State University, Northridge (CSUN) and the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), CHIME Charter Middle School serves as a laboratory in which faculty and students investigate how young teens learn, and as a resource on inclusive education for educators, parents, policy makers and others. The School serves as a demonstration site for student teachers, supervisors, practicing educators, policy makers and parents.

Staffing emphasizes a co-teaching, transdisciplinary approach in which general and special education teachers along with related service providers work together to meet the needs of all students. The inclusive classrooms will be staffed with teachers holding Multiple Subject and Specialist credentials.

We are looking to fill positions for the Fall ’08 year. Candidates should possess a valid teaching credential appropriate to the teaching assignment and a commitment to the school vision and mission.

Salary and benefits are competitive and commensurate with experience. Interested candidates please send cover letter, resume and application by
