Role Overview

We are seeking a dedicated and innovative educator to join our faculty. At Wayland-Cohocton, we believe that the best way to improve student learning is through the collective effort of our staff. The successful candidate will not only be an expert in their subject matter but also a committed collaborator within our Professional Learning Communities (PLCs).

Our Commitment to PLCs

Our district is built on the foundation of the PLC model. We move beyond "private practice" teaching and work together to ensure all students learn at high levels. In this role, you will:

• Collaborate Regularly: Participate in scheduled team meetings to share best practices, develop common assessments, and analyze student work.
• Focus on Results: Use data to drive instructional decisions, identifying which students need additional support and which need extension.
• Answer the Four Critical Questions: Work with your peers to clarify:

• What do we want our students to learn?
• How will we know if they are learning?
• How will we respond when some students do not learn?
• How will we extend the learning for students who are already proficient?

Responsibilities

• Ensure the provision of specially designed instruction to our students with disabilities.
• Active participation in grade-level or departmental PLC teams.
• Foster a positive, inclusive classroom environment that aligns with district goals.
