Curtis is seeking a Lower Elementary Associate Teacher to join a team-oriented, inclusive, and professional learning community. Curtis School is a DK-6 co-ed elementary school whose mission is to “develop, in every child, a sound mind in a sound body, governed by a compassionate heart.”
We place an equal emphasis on academic, physical, social-emotional, and character education and instill a growth mindset modeled by faculty and staff who are the best in their craft. The Lower Elementary Associate Teacher will be responsible for supporting the Lead Teacher in maintaining a positive learning environment in their homeroom in Grade DK or K.
The successful candidate will work closely with the Lead Teacher and colleagues in their grade level, under the supervision of the Director of Lower Elementary, to build an engaging curriculum that fulfills Curtis’s mission and values. The Associate Teacher will spend at least 50% of their time teaching monitoring for understanding in whole-group situations, working with students in small groups, or enhancing the instruction provided by the Lead Teacher through one-on-one conferencing with students. The candidate must have excellent time-management, organizational, and communication skills, be dynamic and adaptable to shifting work conditions, and open to feedback. A collegial personality and responsiveness to direction are essential traits, as is a love of working with early childhood-aged children.
Curtis School is fully committed to a diverse faculty and student body. The candidate should possess an abundance of respect and sensitivity around racial, ethnic, socio-economic, and all differences.
