**ACTON ACADEMY: SAN DIEGO EASTLead Guide or Apprentice Guide**

Do you want to change the world? If you aim to instill a love of learning in others while advancing your professional growth, this is your chance to get in on the ground floor of one of the world’s most innovative academies.

Acton exists to move learners (adults and children alike) on a journey to understand and develop their most precious gifts, discover their deepest passions, and use them to serve others in a meaningful way. This journey takes them from being receivers of knowledge to self-seekers of knowledge who find their callings and are capable of leading schools, businesses, or community organizations if they choose. We believe our learners are geniuses destined to change the world in a profound way. Are you ready to begin your own Hero’s Journey?

**Position Description**

The Lead Elementary Guide and Apprentice Elementary Guide will work in partnership with the Director to:

- hold students accountable to their promises and to delivering “the best they can do” as they discover and pursue a calling on a hero’s journey
- create personal/group covenants to provide and strengthen a safe learning community and inspire students to uphold promises to learners, parents, fellow guides, and directors
- pass along responsibilities to learners as quickly as possible, to empower them to lead themselves to act as a role model and as an independent learner on a hero’s journey
- launch and lead a short discussion
- co-create and launch quests (projects), including daily challenges
- guide art and PE activities
- evaluate and refine existing curriculum, designing and experimenting with new projects, tools, and approaches
- a deep commitment to the success of Acton Academy: San Diego East

**Bottom Line**

All great Guides seem to have these few things in common:

- They are curious, lifelong learners who would rather be surprised than right.
- They are Storytellers who understand how to deliver compelling narratives that help learners connect real-world skills and challenges to their Hero’s Journey.
- They are more interested in playing the role of a Montessori Guide and Gamemaker, working in the background, more than taking center stage in a classroom.
- They believe that every young person who walks through our doors is a genius.
- They are willing to use the Socratic method, answering a question with a question.

**Pay**

Acton Academy: San Diego East offers competitive pay. We operate on an eleven-month calendar, with six-week sessions, followed by a week-long break and longer breaks during the Christmas holiday and summer. Guides will have time off during session breaks and in the summer. Part-time positions are available.

**Lead Guide**: $40,000 - $80,000 yearly salary for approximately 40 hours per week

**Guide**: $20 to $45 per hour for between 10 and 40 hours per week (We work with Guides to develop a mutually beneficial schedule.)

This is a position for an independent learner who can take direction, but also work with little direct guidance; someone who likes to collaborate, experiment, evaluate and continually improve; and someone who is a flexible problem-solver. It is essential that this person can learn fast, loves to work hard, and is an active reader and writer. Preference will be given to applicants with Montessori training and experience working in a Montessori setting.
