Job description

Community Regional Charter School (CRCS) has an opening for a dynamic teacher (facilitator) to join our team at CRCS (Dimensions Academy, Cornville) for the 2025-2026 School Year.

• Early Elementary (multi-age, flexible groupings for learners ages 6-8)
• Play based learning environments! Outdoor learning environments!

At CRCS, learners are grouped based on their academic levels, as well as social-emotional levels and needs, and learner voice and choice. Learners move from class to class as they gain proficiency on learning targets.

Unlike traditional, industrial-aged school systems, our learning community invites facilitators to design learning experiences for children that personalize their learning while meeting their individualized learning targets. Prior experience in a school would be preferred but we are open to having our campus be the first education experience for highly-skilled, dynamic teachers who believe in this mission and vision.

College graduates - it is not too early to apply! We provide recent graduates with the opportunity to start working with us as soon as graduation is completed. This provides new facilitators the opportunity to get to know our school culture and climate, and get paid professional development over the summer.

Benefits of working at CRCS include:

• Personalized mentoring, feedback & support
• A healthy balance of professional collaboration and autonomy
• Permission to think and instruct with non-traditional, creative methods personalized to each child
• Leadership building opportunities for professionals looking to make a whole school impact
• Opportunities for classroom facilitators to teach skill-based interest groups, such as sewing, robotics, felting, gardening, Cricut crafts, snowshoeing, etc.

For more information prior to applying, please contact Dimensions Academy building principal, Susan Muzzy, at [e-mail] or 207-310-3088. If you are unsure of your qualifications, give a call as we may be able to help with conditional certification.

Salary: Competitive and comparable to surrounding districts
