Associate Teacher

JOB SUMMARY

In a multi-faceted instructional role, Associate Teachers balance collaborative instructional support with independent classroom leadership. This position is designed for educators to provide high-impact assistance to grade-level teams while maintaining the readiness to scale their impact as lead instructors. Under the mentorship of lead teachers, Associate Teachers refine their pedagogical skills by leading data-driven small-group interventions, co-planning inclusive curricula, facilitating formative assessments to drive student growth, and designing and delivering co-curriculars. At the direction of the School Principal, Associate Teachers pivot from a support capacity to the primary internal successor for statutory leaves (such as medical, military, or administrative leave), allowing for a strategic response to meet the school’s staffing needs. Because Associate Teachers are deeply embedded in the school’s curriculum and culture, they are uniquely positioned to step in as the Temporary Teacher of Record for the duration of extended assignments. During extended assignments (30 days or more), Associate Teachers assume full ownership of the classroom overseeing lesson implementation, grading, and parent communication, to ensure instructional continuity and academic rigor remain uninterrupted. Ultimately, this role provides excellent hands‑on classroom experience, establishing a direct pipeline to a full lead Teacher position within one to two years.
