Job description

Benefits:

• Employee discounts
• Paid time off

Qualifications:

A 4-year college degree in early education, kinesiology, therapeutic recreation, or human development is preferred. Consideration will be given to a candidate’s education and experience.

Job Goal:

The Physical Education Teacher is to treat each child with love, recognizing that each and every one is a child of God. Because we are taught that the human body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, we are commissioned to take care of the temples that God has created. In physical education, we can do this by teaching students about healthy living and inspiring them to enjoy being active. The teacher should organize fun, attention-grabbing activities, such as games and competitions, to keep students active during class. Preschool is an opportunity to develop skills that will be used not only in elementary school but throughout the students' lives. The teacher will also cultivate good social and emotional development through teaching good sportsmanship.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

1. Plan and implement a developmentally appropriate program for preschool and pre-kindergarten students that coordinates, when applicable, with St. Anne’s educational units.
2. Develop and maintain an organized classroom that offers an effective learning environment.
3. Provide a warm and loving atmosphere for students.
4. Prioritize the safety of students.
5. Attend and contribute to monthly staff meetings.
6. Complete physical education evaluations for each student.
7. Communicate with the Director and parents regarding concerns about gross motor skills.
8. Plan and lead students in Mother’s Tea and Father’s Coffee programs and attend other school-sponsored events.
9. Lead “big group” activities on a rotating schedule.
10. Assist the Aide before and after classes by preparing and cutting crafts.
11. Perform any other duties as requested by the Director.

The teacher will work two days a week teaching classes for children aged 2½ to 5 years old, with 6 to 10 students per class. Regular attendance is expected. The position includes 2 days of paid leave per school year. St. Anne’s follows the City of Salem School system regarding holidays and snow days. The contract includes 5 teacher work days: 4 before the school year begins in August/September and 1 after the school year ends in May.
