Special Education Instructional Assistant - Matchbook Learning

Who are we?

A non-profit charter management organization in Indianapolis, Indiana who have launched a single PreK-8 Innovation Charter School in partnership with the Mayor’s Office and Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS). We are currently the largest K-8 in Indianapolis and #10 in the state for parent choice schools. Our innovative, award-winning blended turnaround school model, the first of its kind in the nation to be offered to schools with the highest poverty rates and needs, has already achieved extraordinary results. Now, we are excited to develop a scalable model for inner-city public education in Indianapolis.  

Who are we looking for?

• Help monitor student progress and communicate with teachers about student performance.
• Assist in maintaining classroom organization and cleanliness.

Required:

• A High School Diploma or equivalent
• An entrepreneurial heart and mindset. Serving in a turnaround or restart school requires both the courageous vision to take on a challenge with massive potential AND the quiet humility to be willing to try, fail and try again.

• Ability to be flexible in a fast-paced, changing environment.

Preferred

• Experience in an urban or low-income setting.
