Elementary Grades Multi-Age Teacher Job Opening

Kindle Farm School is seeking an enthusiastic and inspired individual to teach our elementary and middle school aged students (Grades 5-7) with a diverse set of skills and interests. This position requires a strong background in upper elementary education, universal design and holistic education. Kindle Farm School believes that students learn best when their relationships with instructors are strong; therefore, this position requires strong people skills, the ability to set firm but respectful limits, and diverse recreational interests. The ideal candidate will also have the ability to provide experiential education with the capacity to connect academic processes to authentic learning units for our students.

This position is not a traditional teaching position, in that all students participate in community and outdoor components in their day, including but not limited to group play, Music, Arts, and Wilderness Skills. Many of our students have had negative reactions to traditional classroom settings; in our school, they are served in small classes with high staff to student ratios and natural incentives. Most of our students have Individualized Educational Plans created in conjunction with their sending school districts.
