San Francisco, California, United States Red Bridge Full time

Red Bridge is an independent K-8 school that opened in September 2020 in San Francisco. Red Bridge was founded as a demonstration school for a new model of education designed to foster a sense of agency in students as opposed to traditional schools that are designed to reinforce compliance. Student ownership is built into every system and structure of the school, so that students gradually take on more responsibility for their learning. This puts every student on the path to becoming a lifelong learner – so that no matter what the future looks like, they have the capacity to adapt and flourish.

Red Bridge strives to have a student body that reflects the diversity of our community in San Francisco. Our mission, location and individualized tuition model all support this goal. We believe that a diverse learning community is a necessary part of a high-quality education. We aim to have a faculty that reflects this diversity as well. Candidates from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.

Teachers at Red Bridge are models of lifelong learning: collaborating to design meaningful learning experiences for students, closely observing children's development and needs, and creating and reflecting on innovative routines and systems. Red Bridge currently serves forty students in the equivalent of Kindergarten – Fifth Grade. We will continue to grow and age-up with our student body until we are a full K-8 school.

Red Bridge does not group students by grade level, but by Autonomy Level. Each Autonomy Level spans about three years of age difference. This Kindergarten / 1st Grade posistion is for Autonomy Level 1, which generally includes 5- to 7-year-olds. You will work with around twelve students at a time and collaborate closely with the other Autonomy Level 1 Learning Guide. Responsibilities include small group instruction in some core subject areas (Communication, Computation, Observation and Critical Thinking/World Studies), SEL lessons, Work Habit instruction, and project design. Responsibilities also include student supervision, parent communication, student assessment and feedback. This role could be for a lead teacher position or a co-teacher position. Either way, you will work closely with other Red Bridge team members to develop resources and routines and revise them as necessary. This is a full-time position reporting to the Head of School.
