Job Description

Position Description: About the Role
At Bronx Arts, we see teaching as an art form. Teaching Assistants play a key role in supporting classroom instruction and helping bring our vision of rigorous, joyful, and student-centered learning to life.

Working under the supervision of the Principal and alongside the classroom teacher, this role supports the delivery of high-quality instruction while helping to maintain a structured, engaging, and inclusive classroom environment.

At Bronx Arts, Teaching Assistants are more than support staff—they are partners in instruction, culture-builders, and champions for student success.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Support teachers in delivering high-quality instruction to individuals and small groups of students
  • Reinforce lessons by reviewing material and helping students stay engaged and on task
  • Assist with classroom setup and maintain a clean, welcoming, and well-organized learning environment
  • Maintain a beautiful, organized classroom that showcases student learning, including regularly updated bulletin boards and displays
  • Support student learning during reading, writing, and math activities, including conferencing and skill-building
  • Use positive behavior management techniques to support a strong classroom culture
  • Observe and communicate student academic and social-emotional progress to the teacher
  • Assist with grading, anecdotal note-taking, and data entry (including PowerSchool)
  • Support instructional activities, projects, and small group work as directed by the teacher
  • Step in to support classroom instruction in the teacher’s absence, as needed
  • Support arrival, dismissal, lunch, and transitions to ensure a safe and orderly environment
  • Promote positive habits and maintain a structured, respectful environment in shared spaces (e.g., cafeteria, hallways)
  • Participate in staff meetings and professional development opportunities
  • Adhere to school schedules, systems, and expectations

What We’re Looking For:
  • A strong commitment to our mission, core values, and a high-expectations school culture
  • Professional maturity, sound judgment, and the ability to communicate clearly and respectfully with students, staff, and families
  • A reliable, detail-oriented team player who takes initiative and contributes to a smooth, well-run classroom and school
  • A growth-minded professional with a “do whatever it takes” attitude in service of students
  • A passion for the arts and belief in creativity as a driver of student engagement and success

Qualifications:
  • High school diploma required; some college credits required
  • New York State Teaching Assistant Certification (Level I, II, or III) required
  • Prior experience working with elementary-aged children preferred
  • Spanish language proficiency is a plus
  • Clearance for fingerprinting and criminal background check required

Compensation
$45,000 annually

Benefits:
  • 403(b) retirement plan, with up to 3% employer match after one year of service
  • Health Insurance, with free options available for self and children
  • Dental and Vision Insurance
  • Life, Short and Long Term Disability Insurance
  • Flexible Spending Account
