What are the responsibilities and job description for the First-Grade Co-Teacher position at The Clariden School?
About The Clariden School
The Clariden School is a not-for-profit, private, fully-accredited, college-preparatory school serving students PreK – Grade 12 in North Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth area). Clariden works to ignite student curiosity and problem-solving skills by first providing a program that addresses the whole student. With a focus on Project-Based Learning (PBL) and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), character-based kindness, and hands-on field study, our goal is to equip students for the jobs of tomorrow and to be contributing citizens in their local & global communities. Clariden is an International Baccalaureate World School for the Diploma Programme, having begun offering coursework in Fall 2024.
Employees at The Clariden School are expected to be respectful, responsible, self-directed, growth-minded individuals who are interested in not only providing the best for students but also developing and honing their skills as a professional. Employees are responsible for providing their students with appropriate learning activities and experiences in the academic subjects assigned to the educator to help the students fulfill their potential for intellectual, emotional, physical and social growth.
Clariden is currently undergoing exciting growth on campus in its physical facilities and size of its student body. A state-of-the-art Upper School STEAM building recently opened in Fall 2022 and we continue to grow our faculty size.
Clariden has recently adopted a co-teaching model (two, full-time qualified teachers collaborating together to lesson plan, deliver instruction, etc.) in its Lower School. This search is for a second teacher in the first-grade classroom, which will have up to 24-26 students in a sizeable classroom space.
