Camino Nuevo Charter Academy

YOLA Teaching Artist 

Camino Nuevo Charter Academy (CNCA) is a community of high-performing public schools that utilizes a comprehensive approach to prepare students from preschool through high school for success in college and in life. We integrate academic rigor, community, family, and wellness to empower students to thrive in a culturally connected and changing world. Founded in 2000, Camino Nuevo Charter Academy students represent the neighborhood of MacArthur Park west of downtown Los Angeles, a community that is one of the most under-resourced and densely populated neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Currently, CNCA has eight campuses that serve over 3,500 students from pre-K through 12^th grade.

CNCA currently seeks candidates who are committed to serving in under-resourced communities.  We are seeking teachers who embrace research-based, innovative curricular frameworks such as a balanced literacy approach and conceptual based math.  Our approach to teaching and learning involves a deep commitment to ongoing teacher professional development, and collaboration.  Teachers must be visionaries, eager to be in the forefront of educational practices and must embrace the challenge of demonstrating that public education in a low-income, primarily immigrant, multilingual community can succeed.  Special Education teachers must believe in a full-inclusion, co-teaching model and be willing to work closely with general education teachers to provide an equitable education for all students. Teachers will receive a competitive salary, healthcare and retirement benefits.

Teachers will perform a full range of duties, including but not limited to:

• Plan and deliver instruction for assigned music courses
• Prepare and implement lesson plans that align to Performing Arts Standards in Music as well as cross-curricular grade level themes as applicable
• Regularly assess student progress to refine and differentiate instruction
• Develop and execute culminating experiences for students such as recitals, concerts, etc.
