Junior High Learning Specialist - Atlanta, United States - The Paideia School
Description
Employment Type: Full-Time, Benefits Eligible
Months Worked Per School Year: 10
Work Days/Hours: M-F, 8am-4pm, occasional after-school and weekend work
Start Date: August 2024
Job Summary:
Paideia is a K-12 college preparatory school of over 1,000 students in the Emory University area of Atlanta; the junior high school enrolls 180 students. Junior high classes combine 7th and 8th grade students into homebase classes where they are taught language arts and social studies by the two homebase classroom teachers. Students leave the homebase for instruction in modern languages, math, music, art, P.E. and science. The program combines close contact and support from homeroom teachers with independence, individual responsibility, and a wide range of choices. It demands a lot from students, but does so in relaxed surroundings in which kids can feel at home. It does an excellent job teaching basic skills like math and writing, but it also has a creative curriculum designed to incorporate personal and social conflicts and develop self-awareness and expression.
The development of social skills is an important part of every learning experience at Paideia. Most academic work at this level is carried out through individually prescribed instruction in mixed-age or multi-age classrooms that emphasize individual challenge and achievement rather than competition.
