Description
Dr. Gil Noam's PEAR Social-Emotional Development Work will guide our comprehensive approach to building school capacity, support systems, and a common language around social-emotional development so students can learn, dream and thrive in school and afterschool settings. The Legends Fellow will serve the community of 600 students at Legends Charter School as a learning coach. All member activities are designed to address the research-based Early Warning Indicators (EWIs) that predict drop out risk: specifically, student performance in attendance, behavior, English, and math (An Early Warning System, Curran, Neild & Balfanz, 2007). Monday through Friday, Legends Fellows implement our full-time in-school and after-school education program called Legends Full Circle Social Emotional Learning & Academic (SELA) programming. During a typical 10 hour day, Fellows spend 1 hour conducting attendance initiatives (e.g., morning greeting, phone calls home); 4 hours providing tutoring and in-class academic support; 20 minutes of mentoring during lunch for students identified in need of attitude, behavior or motivation coaching; 30 minutes for lunch; 30 minutes for whole-school and enrichment programming; 1 hour of planning and documentation time with teammates and/or teachers/specialists; 1 hour of afterschool homework support; and, 90 minutes of afterschool enrichment activities. During planning periods and Professional Development Days, Fellows participate in training and reflection, community engagement, service planning and documentation, and post-Fellowship career planning. Through these activities, Fellows provide supports that will help improve students’ ability to be the BOSS (Basic Organization Skills for Success) of their lives and learning, academic efficacy, and engagement to their school and thereby keep the students in school and on track to successful promotion to 9th grade. Legends Fellowss will serve as a conduit to unite and connect with their scholars to help learners start school in their executive state, disengage stress and commit to their daily goals and review the daily schedule as a school-wide Tier 1 intervention. There will be 27 Legends Fellows deployed to Legends Charter School. Under the leadership, direction, and training of the Program Manager and Director of Social Emotional Learning and Academic Development, the Fellow will work directly under the supervision of their classroom teacher. According to teacher exit surveys, many leave the profession because they are burnt out because of the myriad of demands and pressure they experience in the classroom. Supporting student's continuum of services alone is overwhelming and unrealistic. The Legends Fellow will ensure teachers have every opportunity to teach, attend planning periods and professional development and will, therefore, be expected to facilitate student team-building games at recess, assuring consistency of culture in special area classes and specials and provide any other support, accommodation or modification the student may need to be successful. The Legends Fellow will provide students with positive, caring adult relationships at school, academic support, and opportunities to develop social-emotional skills that will put our community's students on track to graduate from high school with the skills and mindsets essential for success in college, career, and life. Legends Fellows will also serve to address the looming teacher shortage by being a pipeline to talent and a non-traditional pathway to entering education.
