  • Act as the lead teacher, covering the necessary responsibilities, while the lead teacher is absent
  • Perform other tasks as assigned by the lead teacher or lower school administration

Desired Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree strongly preferred
  • Experience teaching elementary-level children
  • Passion for teaching young children
  • Experience providing math support and enrichment for upper elementary students is preferred
  • Interest in continued professional development
  • A strong commitment to Quaker values, anti-racism, and social justice
