Education Through Music is a non-profit organization that partners with New York City Public Schools to place music teachers and programs back into school's curricula. We are unique from other arts nonprofits in that we provide a bridge for teachers who are not certified to teach in public schools, build their program, and eventually be hired by a public school for the DOE. ETM has great reach in that we serve all five boroughs, we have partnerships with 50 public schools and provide music education to over 18,000 children. Music is a part of a well rounded education; it is essential for students' social and emotional well being and a critical tool for establishing equity and success. We are looking for teachers who are passionate about music and making a difference in their communities.
Responsibilities:
Serving as school music faculty
Coordinating and developing the in-school music program with program staff
Producing two school-wide concerts each year
Attending and assisting in school wide functions such as assemblies, graduation, after school activities
Comprehensive scope and sequencing of lesson planning

Individuals who do not currently hold 'eligible' status for classroom teaching from the NYC Department of Education (DOE) will be asked to undergo a fingerprinting and background check by the NYC DOE PETS system. Only those cleared by the DOE who receive 'eligible' status are eligible for hire by ETM.
