Position Summary:

Specific to North Star Elementary

North Star Elementary is a recently built elementary school in the White Bear Lake Area School District, located off Hwy 61, north of Hugo, MN.

North Star Elementary's programming goal is to obtain a highly collaborative work environment that embraces innovation and personalized instruction within an inclusive multiage learning community.

Programming is established by studio teams guided by state standards and district curriculum. Individual teachers are not assigned to one particular classroom but collaborate with a team of studio teachers, including teachers in SpEd, Intervention, and Specialists, to utilize the studio's theme-based classrooms in a creative, fluid format meeting the specific needs of the students assigned to that studio. Because of this format, teacher teams must plan and interact in a highly collaborative manner beyond that of a traditional setting.

Instructional learning is based on multiage state standards supporting students emotionally, socially, and instructionally over a 2-year period before moving onto the next studio level.

Innovative programming includes project-based and STEAM activities established within an inclusive learning environment that provides sensory support as needed.

Although each studio teacher will be assigned to a home-based group of students within the studio format, it's important to recognize that the teacher is responsible for a team-based instructional model that impacts all students assigned within the studio.

Overall Teacher Expectations

Performs professional work providing a broad range of teaching services or specific learning programs, assisting students to develop skills, attitudes, and knowledge needed as a foundation for future learning in accordance with each student's ability, using a variety of teaching methods at various levels. Work is performed under the limited supervision of the Principal, with occasional oversight over paraprofessionals or volunteers.
