Job description

JOB SUMMARY

In a multi-faceted instructional role, Associate Teachers balance collaborative instructional support with independent classroom leadership. This position is designed for educators to provide high-impact assistance to grade-level teams while maintaining the readiness to scale their impact as lead instructors.

Under the mentorship of lead teachers, Associate Teachers refine their pedagogical skills by leading data-driven small-group interventions, co-planning inclusive curricula, facilitating formative assessments to drive student growth, and designing and delivering co-curriculars.

At the direction of the School Principal, Associate Teachers pivot from a support capacity to the primary internal successor for statutory leaves (such as medical, military, or administrative leave), allowing for a strategic response to meet the school’s staffing needs. Because Associate Teachers are deeply embedded in the school’s curriculum and culture, they are uniquely positioned to step in as the Temporary Teacher of Record for the duration of extended assignments. During extended assignments (30 days or more), Associate Teachers assume full ownership of the classroom overseeing lesson implementation, grading, and parent communication, to ensure instructional continuity and academic rigor remain uninterrupted.

Ultimately, this role provides excellent hands‑on classroom experience, establishing a direct pipeline to a full lead Teacher position within one to two years.

WHO YOU ARE

• You are detail‑oriented, hardworking, and can execute at a high level.
• You are a go‑getter and ready to roll up your sleeves each day to support in new ways.
• You have a high EQ and recognize the importance of empathy and joy in our work.
• You build strong relationships and can be trusted by all stakeholders.
• You communicate clearly and effectively.
• You have strong interpersonal skills and can handle situations with tact and diplomacy.
• You have previous experience in an education setting (required).
• You have a BA/BS, and a valid California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential with an EL Authorization or CLAD (required).

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM US

• 100% health care coverage options, including medical and dental.
• School holidays and additional time off throughout the year.
• Continual opportunities for professional development.
• A fun, kind, hardworking team.
• Salary of $77,108.
• This position is eligible for a stipend for extended coverage assignments.

WORKING CONDITIONS

• This position requires the ability to regularly stand, walk, talk, hear, see, read, speak, reach, lift and carry objects (up to 30 lbs.), and sit throughout the workday, as needed to perform all teaching tasks and other job‑related responsibilities.

Employment offers are contingent on a valid work authorization, on verification per AB 2534 (including credential and work history review), First Aid/CPR/AED Certification, TB clearance completed within the last 60 days, and a cleared criminal background check.
