Join a team of master teachers and earn a $140,000 salary at The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School, featured in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and on 60 Minutes for its revolutionary teacher salaries and its outstanding results. TEP aims to achieve educational equity for students from traditionally underserved communities by utilizing world-class teachers, while re-imagining the teaching profession as a place in which teachers prioritize their own growth-as pedagogical experts, intellectual seekers, and community leaders.
Watch the video below to learn more about TEP's investment in teachers.
About the Role (Responsibilities)
Applicants will be eligible for Early Childhood Teacher roles (Kindergarten, 1st Grade) and Elementary School Teacher roles (2nd Grade to 4th Grade).
As one of the three pillars of our program (Academics, Arts, and Athletics), TEP is deeply committed to building a classroom culture that fosters a genuine love for learning.
Each Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Grade Teacher serves as the lead teacher for one class of students, teaching across subjects to build deep relationships that support student progress and development. While teachers must be adept at teaching the range of subject areas, strong experience with literacy instruction is critical to TEP's mission.
Early Childhood teachers' classroom experience is filled with vibrant and colorful spaces that reflect the learning that takes place in each class. In Kindergarten and 1st grade, teachers will help students develop foundational skills in reading and writing, math, and emotional and social skills.
Elementary School teachers will work in a learning environment carefully crafted to instill a love of learning for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders. Our unique classroom setting in the heart of Washington Heights provides a perfect classroom environment for young learners. In addition, the nature that surrounds our campus provides a great setting for physical activity for young explorers.
About You (Qualifications)
Deeply aligned to TEP's mission of providing a world-class education to historically under-resourced student communities (90% of TEP students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, 22% of TEP students receive Special Education services, and 25% of TEP students are Multi-Lingual Learners)
Classroom experience: Minimum of 2 years of lead teaching experience in grade levels K-4 in a public charter school, traditional public school, or private school setting
The ability to tailor curriculum and teaching methods to each individual student's needs and learning style
Outstanding verbal ability and strong communication skills
Certification requirements: Teachers do not need to possess a New York State Teacher Certification to be hired at TEP Charter School. However, prospective teachers that do not yet have New York State teaching certification must identify and present a pathway to obtain New York State teaching certification on their application.
Education requirements: TEP adheres to the educational requirements outlined within the individual pathways to NYS teaching certification (see above), and does not require any additional degree programs.

Please RSVP here!
Application Process
TEP is designed and structured around the belief that great teachers are the key to achieving educational success for students. As such, we require applicants to demonstrate their qualifications throughout the application and hiring process. The requirements for each applicant include:
Resume: Applicants must submit an up-to-date resume
Cover Letter: Applicants must submit a well-written cover letter highlighting their specific interest in joining the TEP community
Instructional Video: Applicants must submit an unedited video clip of themselves teaching in a classroom setting or small-group setting
Submission of Teaching and Learning: Applicants must submit a portfolio of student work, assessment data for a class of students, or an original curricular tool that they have personally developed
The requirements for the Instructional Video and the Submission of Teaching and Learning components are specified in detail below.
INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO: Please submit an unedited video clip (maximum 15 minutes) of you teaching in a classroom setting (preferred) or a small-group setting. It is preferred that the students be in the same grade-level as the TEP teaching position for which you are applying, though this is not a strict requirement. The video may contain only one continuous, unedited clip (i.e. do not splice together multiple clips from different points in the lesson). The clip does not need to show an entire lesson; a brief lesson segment is perfectly acceptable.
If you do not have a video with students in the classroom you may still submit a video of yourself teaching. Get creative! You may include a video of you teaching (a) a lesson with/for no students, (b) a lesson of you teaching family members, (c) or a lesson for students virtually. We're excited to see your creativity.
The video must be accompanied by a written narrative that analyzes and reflects upon the teaching and learning that occurs in the lesson and may offer an explanation as to what occurred prior to and subsequent to the clip. There is no minimum or maximum length for the narrative. The video may be submitted in any format, but a link to a video posted online is preferred.
SUBMISSION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING: Submit one of the following three options:
Option A: Portfolio of Student Work that demonstrates the progress of at least two specific students that you have taught. The portfolio must contain a minimum of two work products for each student (for a minimum of four work products) completed at different points in time during the period when each student was in your class. The portfolio must be accompanied by a written narrative that analyzes and reflects upon the progress that each student demonstrates. There is no minimum or maximum length for the narrative.
Option B: Assessment Data for at least one entire class of students that you have taught. The assessments may be standardized national, state, or city assessments or your own self-created assessments. The assessment data can be provided in any form that you choose (official documents with students' last names crossed-out, or documents that you create to summarize student assessment performance). The data you provide should ideally show progress over time; as such, it is recommended (though not required) that you provide data for at least two assessments taken at different points in time. The assessment data must be accompanied by a copy of the assessments themselves. If a specific assessment is unavailable, provide a copy of a similar assessment. The assessment data must also be accompanied by a written narrative that provides background on the assessments, explains how the assessments measure student performance, and analyzes the results of your class. There is no minimum or maximum length for the narrative.
Option C: Original Curricular Tool of any form that you have personally developed. The requirement here is deliberately open-ended because we are interested in seeing anything that you have developed that you believe has meaningfully supported your students' learning. This may take the form of written materials, a unique instructional methodology, a technological innovation, etc. The curricular tool must also be accompanied by a written narrative that provides background on the tool, how the tool functions, and speaks to the impact of the tool within your classroom. There is no minimum or maximum length for the narrative.
