BRICOLAGE ACADEMY OVERVIEW
Instructional Model
At Bricolage Academy, the Elementary Teacher is responsible for providing common-core-aligned instruction that is culturally relevant by implementing the Bridges in Mathematics/Illustrative Mathematics curriculum and/or EL/Wit & Wisdom curriculum. The EL/Wit & Wisdom curriculum is designed to accelerate learning through phonics, dramatically improving outcomes for both students and teachers.The Bridges in Mathematics/Illustrative Mathematics curriculum takes a hands-on approach to learning the concepts and applications of math.
Additionally, students will have co-curricular experiences – visual art, music, physical education, and maker space (a combination of design thinking technology, and engineering basics). These classes are designed to introduce students to the basic concepts and principles of different types of art, music, innovation, and physical education so that they can make better informed decisions about which type to specialize in in middle school.
School Culture
Restorative Practices will be used alongside strategies from both Responsive Classroom for Middle School and the Institute of Social and Emotional Learning to proactively build a physically and emotionally safe, joyful, inclusive, and supportive school culture.
Undoing Racism
We attempt to undo racism by addressing the traditional power structure by creating space for dialogue across traditional lines of division. We offer trainings and workshops that focus on racial reconciliation for teachers, students and families, and employ culturally responsive instructional practices. We are committed to supplementing the dominant narrative approach to History/Social Studies with culturally responsive pedagogy that uses “cultural knowledge, prior experiences, frames of reference, and performance styles of ethnically diverse students to make learning encounters more relevant to and effective for them” (Geneva Gay’s definition of culturally responsive teaching). This work is not ‘nice to have’; it is essential to advance equity.
Bricolage Academy is a school with a big goal: we aim to be the highest performing non-selective school in New Orleans. There are many people who contribute to making Bricolage special - parents, administration, students and community members - but teachers are at the center of it all. Bricolage teachers must demonstrate a deep commitment to our mission of advancing educational equity by creating innovators who change the world. Our teachers embody our organizational values (integrity, empathy and innovation). They are always trying to get better, have a deep love for children and approach everything with a joie de vivre. Our teachers create the kind of classrooms that nobody ever wants to leave - where it’s fun to learn and you can almost see the discovery fireworks bouncing off the walls. We’re looking for others who approach their work like we do – balancing seriousness and diligence with warmth and levity.
DUTIES
Specifically, the Elementary Teacher is responsible for:
student outcomes. We use multiple measures to assess student learning and preparedness, but it’s on teachers to deliver.
creating a classroom culture where students:
share in its ownership
treat each other with empathy and act with integrity
learn how to be responsibly autonomous
delivering engaging, rigorous, and effective instruction
differentiating instruction to meet the needs of each individual student
integrating technology, innovation, and design thinking into instruction
being an active member of the school community including assuming before, during, and after school duty posts, advising/mentoring small groups of students and attending school activities and events
developing relationships with colleagues, students and their families
Some other things you should know about us:
We're building a new kind of school that doesn't have a formula to follow. There is no 'how-to' book for our community. We're making it ourselves. That requires people who can embrace vulnerability, take initiative, learn from mistakes, and be open to giving and receiving feedback.
Bricolage is a diverse community, but we are committed to being an anti-racist one. This means devoting time to understand what racism is, exploring how it manifests, and taking actions to dismantle it. Also, Bricolage's diversity is not itself an end. Rather, we believe our diversity is a means to amplifying empathy, advancing equity and facilitating creativity and innovation.
We don't have all of the answers, and we're okay with that. If you're looking for certainty, we suggest you pursue a position in a factory (or a factory-like school). Bricolage is being built as we speak. It's a magical place, but an imperfect one. Everyone at Bricolage has successes and failures. You will experience both.
We’re looking for a special kind of teacher. If this sounds like you, please apply. We can’t wait to meet you.
