Job Description

The in-school ACT instructor (ISACT) is an uncommonly hardworking, resourceful educator who’s passionate about expanding college access for BRYC’s Junior Fellows (11th-graders) through improved ACT scores. Unlike BRYC’s flagship after-school programs at our Downtown and Airline campuses, in-school programs take place at select high schools across the Greater Baton Rouge Area. ISACTs deliver programming directly to juniors at their schools during the school day. Ideal candidates have strong facilitation skills and can cultivate a positive 11th-grade class culture and activities. Above all, the ISACT understands that students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds face disproportionate barriers in college admissions, and is relentless in breaking these barriers so BRYC Fellows can maximize the full benefits of postsecondary degrees.

Plan & facilitate electric programs

• Monday through Friday during school hours, the ISACT will use BRYC’s curriculum to teach ~60 Fellows self-regulated learning (SRL) and socioemotional learning (SEL) skills, guiding them in applying these skills to ACT preparation. In spring, the ISACT will help juniors and their families prepare for senior year with individualized college and career pathways.

Provide robust support outside of program

• The ISACT will closely monitor the progress of Fellows in their cohort, identifying and responding effectively to Fellows’ academic and socioemotional needs, and communicating proactively with guardians, school liaisons, and BRYC team members.

Build strong BRYC culture

• The ISACT will be the heartbeat of our Junior Fellow community, building connections with Fellows and guardians to foster a culture in which there is shared pride and purpose around the ACT and college process and BRYC experience as a whole. Further, the ISACT will serve as BRYC’s culture liaison, connecting Fellows to the larger BRYC Community at every possible opportunity, and supporting in-school recruitment.

Collaborate with Learning and Senior Teams

• With both BRYC’s in-school and after-school teams, partner with lesson plan creation and special events. And, on the rare occasion, be available to step in to support BRYC’s evening after-school ACT facilitation.

Build and maintain strong school relationships

• As BRYC’s primary in-school representative, the ISACT will independently operate within assigned partner schools and will be responsible for cultivating positive, collaborative relationships with school staff. This includes regularly communicating with teachers, counselors, and administrators to support student success, troubleshoot challenges, and ensure BRYC programming aligns with school goals and culture.
