Lovely home environment homeschool with a small community of children within these age groups.
New Rochelle, NY near Larchmont, NY.
Start Date: September 5, 2024
We are looking for a magical teacher who is enthused and inspired to teach small group of K-3rd grade children each day. You would share the focus with another teacher to divide up the age levels within a group of no more than 9-12 students for the day, but primarily you would teach 3rd grade for 2-5 students. You are someone who loves planning projects, loves the learning process and loves bringing subjects to life. You often use natural materials, found objects, and strive to be sustainable and innovative in your teaching methods. People describe you as creative, connected to nature and you love exploring with sound, color, songs, art and making illustrative examples. You also empower children thru teaching respect, gentle discipline, and guidance to keep emotional development on track. Maybe mindfulness, Waldorf or Reggio Emilia also informs your methods… you do not often turn to worksheets or the TV to supplement as you have a wellspring of ideas you draw from instead.
You are a team player and have an easy-going personality, and your love of children is apparent in all that you do. You spend one-on-one time with each student and they flourish under your care. You love working in a home environment, and value the flexibility and spontaneous nature of a program that does not focus on testing or meeting rigid guidelines for development. You would work closely with other teacher to plan out activities and lessons, and the program is open to curriculum suggestions as well. The Good and Beautiful has been used previously, but there is a search currently underway for something that may be even better…
You would also help keep track of what is learned for the year so that quarterly filings could be made by the 2nd and 3rd grade students.
Teaching Certificate ideally up to grade 5.
Payment details will be shared during interview, pay is commensurate with experience, 3-5 days per week, schedule TBD and based on your requirements and those of the other teachers. No insurance. 10-25 paid vacation days included depending on schedule.
Minimal oversight – you are the leader in this job!
