Job Description

• Observe and evaluate each child’s individual progress and use those observations to record and plan future lessons that are developmentally and academically appropriate for each student.
• Invest in the whole child understanding that meeting the emotional needs of each student is a primary task of the Montessori educator.
• Actively participate and facilitate experiential learning in on-campus, off-campus and overnight field studies programs related to interdisciplinary project-based learning, place-based sustainability and ecology studies, community service and community building initiatives.

Qualifications of the Elementary Teacher:

• Bachelor's Degree Master’s Degree, preferred Montessori credential, ages 6-12 or 9-12, from an AMS-affiliated teacher education program preferred (training available for qualified candidates.)
• Minimum three years teaching experience Experience with Teacher College Writing Workshop and Fountas and Pinnell literacy program a plus.

• Working Expectations: Your role is essential in nurturing and developing young minds.
