Lower School Primary Teacher - Lyndhurst, United States - Hawken School
4 weeks ago
Description
Hawken School is committed to doing school differently and better. We seek to create an inclusive and accepting community where adults are empowered to design educational experiences for students that are deep and learner-centered. Hawken School seeks culturally-competent teachers, administrators, and staff members who are committed to equity and social justice, who are comfortable taking risks, and who embrace a growth mindset. We are constantly looking for new ways to inspire student curiosity and agency while remaining dedicated to nurturing compassion and kindness in our students.
THE POSITION:
Working under the direction of the Lower School Director, primary teachers work collaboratively with their fellow faculty members to develop and ensure high-quality learning experiences for students. Primary teachers use formative assessment data, including close observation of students, as well as published assessments, to know students and respond to their individual strengths and needs with personalized instruction. Primary teachers take special care to ensure that students have access to systematic literacy and early numeracy instruction that allows students to more fully engage in Hawken's progressive approach to learning.
