TITLE: PreK Support Teacher
DEPT: The Hundred Acre School
REPORTS TO: Director of The Hundred Acre School
The title of this position is “Support Teacher” because we strive to create a collaborative PreK teaching team that highlights each educator’s strengths yet has a defined role. Our PreK classroom is a three-teacher team of 1 Lead PreK teacher and 2 Support PreK teachers. The support teacher position has the ability to co-teach with the lead PreK teacher or provide an assistant teacher skillset depending on the educator’s experience and ability. The support teacher plays a vital role in a classroom’s success. They must be attentive to the room’s dynamics, providing responsive support to both students and co-teachers. As a Support Teacher, you will play a vital role in maintaining a positive and productive learning environment. You will assist in implementing daily routines, reinforcing classroom expectations, and providing targeted support to students throughout the day. Your presence helps ensure that every student receives the attention and encouragement they need to thrive.
The Support Teacher role is ideal for individuals seeking a meaningful teaching position with fewer responsibilities than a lead teacher. This position is well-suited for recently retired educators who wish to stay engaged in the classroom, or for recent college graduates looking to gain hands-on experience in a supportive and enriching school environment. This role also offers a pathway for growth within our school community. If and when you are ready, there may be opportunities to take on additional responsibilities or transition into a lead teaching position if an opening becomes available. We value team members who are collaborative, adaptable, and nurturing individuals who are ready to make a difference while continuing to learn and grow alongside our students and staff.
