Elementary Assistant Teacher

Found in: beBee jobs US - 2 weeks ago

Atlanta, Georgia, United States The Paideia School Full time

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 pre-K-12 college preparatory school of over 1,000 students in the Emory University area of Atlanta; the elementary school enrolls approximately 382 students. The elementary program includes twelve full-day, self-contained classrooms. There are two teachers in each class of twenty-six to twenty-eight children. Teachers work together as lead teacher and assistant or as two co-lead teachers. Children remain with their own teacher throughout the day with the exception of classes with specialists including art, music, physical education, and library.

Paideia's philosophy is based on the belief that to educate well, schools must be individualized. The elementary school faculty emphasizes the acquisition of basic academic skills. The development of social skills is an important part of every learning experience at Paideia. Teachers frequently employ nontraditional means to achieve these traditional goals. Most academic work in the elementary school level is carried out through individually prescribed instruction in mixed-age or multi-age classrooms that emphasize individual challenge and achievement rather than competition.

Through lessons that both engage children and are intellectually challenging, we want children to acquire the basic skills needed for success in school and life: among other things, the ability to read and write skillfully; a facility with numbers, mathematical concepts and real-life problem solving; and a working knowledge about the natural world. Good teaching demands creativity and innovation. While Paideia teachers take pride in the rich academic lessons and units they develop, they also regularly alter these lessons to best suit their students. Such alterations may include incorporating new technologies or checking with colleagues and other professional references for different strategies.

We are looking for someone who:

  • has a passion for learning and a desire to develop a knowledge of current best practices in elementary education;
  • a love and understanding of children and early childhood development;
  • a knowledge, understanding, and successful exhibition of learning strategies to support all students in learning to use their minds well;
  • skills in integrating curriculum and providing connectedness for learners;
  • clear communication skills;
  • the ability to work collaboratively as a part of a team;
  • and the ability to create a positive, nurturing environment for the students. ESSENTIAL JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

    Assistant teachers at Paideia are considered full teachers with classroom teaching and curricular responsibilities. This role is not a teacher aide or paraprofessional. The biggest difference between lead and assistant teachers is the number of years of classroom experience. Assistants participate in parent conferences, curriculum development, student assessment and staffing, professional development, faculty meetings, etc. It is a wonderful opportunity for a teacher with less experience to collaborate with an experienced teacher.

    REQUIRED SKILLS AND ABILITIES

    We are looking for someone who has a passion for learning and a desire to develop a knowledge of current best practices in early elementary education; a love and understanding of children and early childhood; a knowledge, understanding, and successful exhibition of learning strategies to support all students, skills in integrating curriculum; clear communication skills; the ability to work collaboratively as a part of a team to create a positive, nurturing environment for all students.

    MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

    Applicants must have a BA in a related field and a minimum of 2-3 years of experience teaching elementary-aged students. Compensation is based on years of experience for the role.

    APPLICATION NOTES

    Interested applicants should submit a resume, cover letter and contact information for three professional references via our online application.

    Compensation is based on years of experience for the role. A benefits package is offered for benefits-eligible positions. The Paideia School is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
