What are the responsibilities and job description for the Fourth Grade Teacher - Anticipated Opening position at Ottauquechee School?
The Ottauquechee School in Hartford, VT seeks a dynamic and dedicated teacher applicant for an anticipated opening in a 4th grade classroom, beginning in the 2025-26 school year. We are a PreK-5 school with an enrollment of nearly 200 students and a highly collaborative culture. We believe that all students can achieve more than they imagine possible across the dimensions of skills and knowledge, character, and high-quality work, and we support all students to become their own authentic versions of effective learners and ethical people who contribute to a better world. In order to build a sense of belonging for all learners, we center the use of equity-centered, culturally responsive and trauma-informed practices. Our teachers infuse inquiry into all disciplines, build scholars’ capacity for higher order thinking, prioritize student-engaged assessment, use data to inform instruction, and above all, model and foster a growth mindset.
Ideal candidates will demonstrate student-centered classroom management skills, a strong and reflective instructional practice across content areas, and experience in guiding diverse learners to achieve excellence through differentiation. In addition, expertise in science and social studies content and pedagogy, structured literacy approaches (for example Orton Gillingham or LETRS) and/or knowledge-building literacy curricula is preferred. Candidates with experience in project-, problem- or inquiry-based learning, experience or working in EL Education or Deeper Learning network schools are encouraged to apply.
The Ottauquechee School, in alignment with Hartford School District’s Anti-Racism Policy, believes that the educational experience of every student is enhanced through the professional contributions of representatives of various races, ethnicities, genders, physical abilities, ages and sexual orientations, and that a diverse and culturally competent faculty is essential in the creation of a rigorous learning environment free of bias and inequities.
