What are the responsibilities and job description for the Part-time American Sign Language (ASL) Teacher position at Brooklyn Independent?
STARTING THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 8TH!
ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION
Founded in 2019 by two longtime educators, was created to reimagine the middle school experience for students, families and staff. We’re built to disrupt the NYC education system by offering a much-needed alternative for families searching for an elevated, personalized, diverse education experience for their children. We know kids and families deserve more than what is often offered in the public school system but understand that private school can be unapproachable. At BKI we fill that gap – not with the rigor or traditional structure that has become the norm – but with care. We take an approach to learning that engages each individual student’s curiosity, creativity, and humanity because we care to do things differently.
