Preschool Teacher

Description:

You will be responsible for working with your Co-Teacher in best practices with this age group, model those practices, and lead all parent communications.  You will work closely with the Head of School to evaluate student progress and support your teaching team. Teaching teams work together to create curriculum that is developmentally appropriate and aligned with our IB pedagogy.

Responsibilities:

Teachers working with young children are often also working with parents who are new to parenting. Therefore, you must be someone with exceptional communication skills and a nurturing, cooperative approach.  Our goal is to guide and support parents through the journey of the early years, helping them foster their child’s independence and confidence.

One of the ways we achieve this is through electronic portfolios using an iPad.  We ask every teacher to embrace this technology and this assessment method, and we provide extensive support and training for doing so.

Qualifications:

This position requires at least 3 years of experience working with children age 2-5 years of age. You must have completed a Bachelors degree, preferably in a related field. Masters degree is highly desired and Montessori training or experience a plus.
