• A sense of adventure and a willingness to live and work in a cross-cultural, rural environment
• A valid Alaska teaching certificate (or the ability to obtain one)
• A bachelor’s degree and demonstrated commitment to effective teaching
• Dedication to creating an inclusive, engaging learning environment

• Annual salary range: $62,350-$107,858
