First Grade Teacher – 2019-2020
Our wonderful school nestled on five wooded acres in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada is seeking a First Grade teacher for the 2019-20 school year. We expect a full class of 18-20 students, nearly all of whom are coming from our own Kindergarten. The children comprising this class are imaginative, hard-working, hands-on learners and well-connected to one another. The ideal candidate will be Waldorf trained, committed to collaborative working and have experience working with young children.
Our campus is filled with trees to climb and open spaces for cooperative play. We offer a rich festival life and developed specialty curriculum that includes gardening, animal husbandry, movement, foreign language, eurythmy, music, handwork and woodworking. The Moveable Classroom model is also in use in our younger grades, for those teachers interested in taking up that learning approach. Currently, we have approximately 170 students (Pre-K through 8th Grade).
As a Faculty, we share a commitment to the indications of Rudolf Steiner and his age-appropriate curriculum. We work through Anthroposophy to find the inspirations we need to meet the children of our time. We welcome like-minded, Waldorf-trained candidates who also hold a BA or BS to consider joining our community. Benefits for full-time faculty include tuition remission for enrolled children, life insurance, dental benefits and a medical reimbursement account. We also offer tuition support for full-time faculty with a child enrolled at Sacramento Waldorf High School, as well as teacher mentoring support, and professional development.
