K-2 Teacher

Education occurs when teachers and students combine their wills while engaged upon a particular subject. For this combination to be successful, the teacher must first develop an expertise in the given subjects so as to serve as an authority. While teachers are not responsible for the individual will of each student, each teacher is responsible for creating a program and an environment favorable to learning and personal growth; for encouraging students to develop the requisite skills, attitudes, and knowledge; for providing students with experiences which integrate the time-tested modes of learning; for establishing effective rapport with students and their parents. Teachers must be willing to commit to the school's mission, academic program, and student outcomes as outlined in the approved charter.Demonstrated expertise in subject matter (especially for subject specialists).Effective communication skills, both verbal and written.Flexibility, organization, decision-making, and problem-solving skills.Personal skills with diverse populations in-person and on the telephone.Knowledge of computer systems, financial procedures, and legal requirements.Ability to meet deadlines, work on multiple projects, and coordinate the work of others.Knowledge of school policies on immunization, medication, first aid, emergencies and child abuse/neglect.Knowledge of all laws, regulations, and guidelines affecting teachers and students.Knowledge of effective classroom management techniques.Ability to maintain positive relationships with students, parents, community members, and staff.Job Type: Full-timePay: From $48,500.00 per yearBenefits:401(k)Health insurancePaid time offWork Location: In person
