Student Support Assistant: Dallas, TX

<p>As a Student Support Assistant, you will partner directly with the classroom teaching team to help support various children with diverse learning, behavioral, and developmental needs at a Bezos Academy school within our network of high quality, tuition-free, Montessori-inspired preschools in under-resourced communities. You will work collaboratively with other teachers to create a classroom environment where children can thrive and are on track to be ready for kindergarten. You will collaborate with families, teachers, and school leaders to help implement student support strategies based on individual child needs and formal support plans, grounded in the multi-tiered system of support (MTSS). While you will generally support children with additional needs, your support will flex across classrooms depending on need, and you may be deployed as a general assistant teacher in your building when appropriate. This role provides flexible, school‑wide support and is not assigned as dedicated one-on-one support for any individual student, nor does it provide specialized medical or personal care services, special education instruction, or therapeutic services.</p> <p>You are deeply committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion and achieving equitable outcomes for students in under-resourced communities nationwide, across all lines of difference. You have prior experience working with young children who have or are at risk of developmental delays or exceptional abilities, ideally in a classroom setting. &nbsp;Above all, you demonstrate passion for our mission to expand access to high quality preschools in under-resourced communities.</p> <p><strong>LOCATION, BENEFITS, AND COMPENSATION</strong></p> <ul> <li>We are actively hiring for a Student Support Assistant for our preschool in <strong>Old East Dallas</strong><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/4724+East+Side+Ave+Bldg+4,+Dallas,+TX+75226/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x864e98ba5a335c93:0x7d3088ee289b427e?sa=X&amp;ved=1t:242&amp;ictx=111" target="_blank"> (4724 East Side Ave,&nbsp;Building 4,&nbsp;Dallas, Texas 75226).</a><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></li> <li>This is a full-time (40 hours per week), benefits-eligible, non-exempt (hourly) position. <strong>The full pay range for this position is </strong><strong>$23 - $32 per hour</strong>.
