What are the responsibilities and job description for the Teacher - KStars Kindergarten at MSE position at Maize South Elementary School?
K-Stars Kindergarten Teacher at Maize South Elementary School.
KStars is a Kindergarten intervention classroom that focuses its day on 50% social emotional learning. KStars helps students who are struggling with regulation skills and show delays in social emotional growth. Students in this regular kindergarten classroom do not have a current IEP and are identified inside their home school's kindergarten classroom as students in need of social emotional interventions. When the regular kindergarten classroom is not a successful learning environment the KStars classroom offers interventions to help students gain control of their feelings and emotions by using self-regulation interventions that have been explicitly taught to them. Students continue on their academic path as in a kindergarten classroom but at their pace. Students are hopefully reintegrated back into a regular kindergarten classroom and eventually into their regularly assigned home school. Regular home communication is a vital piece of this classroom. KStars is designed to serve no more than nine to ten students maximum. Along with two paraprofessionals, the teacher to student ratio is 1 to 3.
Maize has a lot to offer teachers new to the district and those new to the profession. All new teachers are matched with a qualified mentor and both the mentor and mentee are supported by our team of Student Support Specialists and Instructional Coaches.
