Harlem Children's Zone
Assistant Teacher Opportunity
Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ)
a world-renowned education and poverty-fighting organization based in New York
seeks an enthusiastic, dedicated, and mission-aligned Assistant Teacher for our Three-year-Old Journey Department. The Assistant Teacher will bring a passion for the mission of Harlem Children's Zone: break the cycle of intergenerational poverty with comprehensive, on-the-ground programming that builds up opportunities for children and families to thrive in school, work, and life. Three Year Old Journey is a twelve-week Saturday program that continues parenting skills training derived from Harlem Children's Zone Baby College and Baby College GRADS programs. The primary goal of the Three-Year-Old Journey is to provide parents and guardians with a range of information and the support necessary to ensure that their three-year-olds obtain the cognitive and social-emotional skills needed to enter school. Parents participate in workshops discussing topics such as language, literacy, and teachable moments. Other parenting subjects include discipline, effective communication, managing stress, and more. Meanwhile, the three-year-old participants are placed in small and large groups learning to develop their intellectual and social skills. We are seeking a part-time Assistant Teacher to incorporate direct instruction, discussion, projects and cooperative work that keep classes focused where three-year-old students are engaged and infused with a lasting desire to learn.
