Job DescriptionJob Description

Teachers who want to change the world come to Guidepost Have you always felt something was off with traditional education? Are you passionate about your subject matter? Are you interested in combining core-knowledge with agency? We'll train you in the Montessori approach and show you the "third way" in education. You'll never look backWe are seeking an idealistic, ambitious individual to make a difference in children's lives You'll receive the highest quality, on-the-job training; work in collaboration with incredible colleagues across the country; and support your students to transform the arc of their lives.

Guidepost represents a different way of educating the human potential. Imagine an elementary classroom that is designed for students. Instead of rows of desks, imagine mixed seating designed to support collaboration, Socratic discussion, and individual focused work. Imagine beautiful materials, green plants, and artwork. Imagine a makerspace. Imagine an intentional curriculum that spans from birth through adulthood, grounded in developmental theory and designed to support student agency. Imagine working with people who are as passionate as you are about teaching, supporting individual students, and the life-changing power of education.

What you'll do:

  1. Work in a Montessori elementary classroom (ages 6-8 years old) as a full-time Assistant teacher
    • Support a mixed-age class of students with small group and individual lessons, follow-up work, and real-world extensions in all content areas
    • Work with our program experts to create lesson plans that provide customized rigor for every student
    • Work with our program experts to create and support a classroom culture that reveres effortful choices and truth-seeking inquiry
    • Communicate frequently with parents to ensure they have a clear understanding of their child's academic, social, and emotional progress
    • Work closely with a team of people, including your co-teacher, head of school, and program support coach, to constantly evaluate and improve your classroom
  2. Participate in a network of educators and developers creating and improving a radically innovative national program

  • You crave personal and professional growth, and are ready for a career that will challenge you, demand immensely from you, surprise you, amaze you, and delight you in ways you never thought possible
  • You have deep expertise and joy in some activity or domain. Elementary children love to learn: they love dinosaurs, and space, and finger knitting, and so much more. Do you have a subject you love, and want to communicate that passion?
  • You deeply value history. The Montessori curriculum is rooted in an understanding of, and reverence for, history. You don't need to be a historian, but you should care about the history, want to learn more, and want to share this value with your students
  • You have some meaningful experience with elementary-aged children, and appreciate this amazing age group
  • You see a close partnership with parents as essential for student success, and are as eager to partner with parents as you are to serve their children
  • You are ready to learn a new approach to education that is grounded in supporting individual student agency and deep intellectual study

Benefits:

  • 75% tuition discount for two children at any school in the network (Austin has classrooms serving infants from 2 months of age through high school)
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Flexible tax-advantaged spending accounts (medical, transit, dependent care)
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Flexible time off: options for 10- or 12-month schedule, with spring and winter holiday breaks
