What We Do
Our fundamental belief at Freudigman &amp; Billings is that children learn best in the context of supportive relationships. We are committed to helping students better understand how they learn and how they can take ownership of that learning. Our team provides educational solutions for adolescents and children through individual assessment, personally tailored learning programs, and one-on-one coaching.
 
We are seeking certified reading specialists to work with high school students who are struggling with reading - both decoding and comprehension - and the resultant academic challenges that weak reading can create. Our reading specialist will see students with a wide variety of language-based diagnoses, such as Dyslexia; Specific Learning Disorders in Basic Reading Skill, Reading Fluency, and Reading Comprehension; and ADHD. Reading specialists provide customized as well as evidence-based remediative services through which students acquire the skill sets, self-knowledge, and resiliency they need to become better readers.
 
Reading specialists must be able to work with children and adolescents alike and have experience with a range of K-12 students. Preference will be given to individuals who have obtained (or are pursuing) a certification in reading and a masters degree in special education. Training in various reading programs and approaches is required.

Global Citizens is the first dual language immersion elementary school in Washington, DC, to offer language immersion in both Mandarin Chinese and Spanish pathways - exposing students to the top three languages spoken in the world. Paired with a focus on social justice and whole child wellness, Global Citizens equips children to become empathetic, globally competent, and socially-minded leaders who are prepared for a future we cannot yet imagine. Global Citizens opened in Ward 7 to provide children and their families living east of the Anacostia River with equitable access to dual language immersion programs. This position offers an incredible opportunity to work alongside a team, within an entrepreneurial and collaborative environment focused on improving educational opportunities for all students, especially those who are most marginalized and undervalued.
 
Mission: The mission of Global Citizens is to inspire and prepare the next generation of global citizens. We will do this by supporting students, ages 3-11, to reach their full academic and leadership potential in a nurturing learning environment. We will immerse them in the Mandarin and Spanish languages, promote the value of diversity, and equip them with the knowledge, skills, and mindsets they need to contribute to a better world.
 
Vision: We envision academic excellence, language acquisition, and authentic inclusion of a diverse student population. We will build a strong community of learners who are confident in their ability to communicate in the Chinese, Spanish, and English languages. Our children will use language to liberate and advocate for themselves and those most marginalized. All of our children will develop a sense of self and a sense of belonging, build empathy and emotional resilience, learn to understand and appreciate diverse perspectives and challenge themselves to take action to improve the world.
 
Philosophy: We believe that all cultures have richness and value, deserve respect and consideration, and do not belong to a hierarchy. We are aware of white supremacy culture and the systemic oppression that exists even in the current education system. At Global Citizens PCS, we will critically examine our biases and then actively work on counteracting these biases and disrupting the dominant narrative. We will continually examine our teaching and curricula to ensure we incorporate multiple perspectives from diverse cultural backgrounds and life experiences, including the experiences of our students, families, communities, and staff. We will create an environment in which all students will yearn for intercultural connections and see their benefits.
 
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are our core values and are central to our learning, development, and growth:
 
<ul>
<li>Diversity: All children, of all backgrounds, learning abilities, and physical capacities, will thrive and contribute to a positive, inclusive, and supportive learning community.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Equity: All children are capable of reaching high levels of academic excellence and whole-child wellness. Thus, all children will have the opportunity to gain fluency in more than one language/culture and learn from and with each other. All children will be held to high expectations ensuring equally high outcomes for all and removing the predictability of success or failure that currently correlates with social, cultural, or socio-economic factors.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Inclusion: We will live our core value of diversity by creating an environment of connection, belonging, empowerment, and respect where the richness of different ideas, backgrounds, and perspectives are harnessed to create value.</li>
</ul>
 
The core values live in our Global Citizens PCS educational model through four key pillars: Globally Competent Bilingualism, Academic Excellence, Social Justice, and Whole Child Wellness.
