Full Job Description

At TEAM, every Head Teacher walks through the door to the things that matter most to educators — a fully resourced team built around the child and supporting you.

When you are a Head Teacher at TEAM, you are supported by a complete multi-disciplinary team – including education coordinators who provide guidance and support to help ensure a high-quality educational experience, family service workers who serve as an additional, well-connected resource and support to each family, behavioral health coordinators who support the child, their family and you, disability specialists who guide educators to support each child's unique needs, and nutrition and health staff that support individual child health needs and overall well-being. For most teachers who have spent years being the only adult in the room — this is a different kind of job built around you and the children you teach. We believe great teachers deserve great support, which is why we promote a team focused culture to support the expertise you bring to the classroom.

What You’ll Do:

• Bring each child's learning to life by tailoring curriculum, daily routines, and IEP/IFSP goals
• Foster a safe and healthy environment where kids can play, learn, and grow
• Collaborate with and guide your classroom team of 3 educators to foster each child’s unique school readiness goals
• Build strong relationships with families, co-educators, and support staff
• Observe children thoughtfully each week, using what you gather to shape meaningful, responsive instruction
• Engage with our internal support team to help support children’s individual developmental needs
• Attend and actively participate in staff trainings, meetings, and events
• Participate in ongoing professional development opportunities including regional & national conferences, in-service group seminars, 1:1 peer learning, and training via the Practice-Based Coaching model
• Be a part of our staff recognition events including full agency development/appreciation day (off-site), multiple staff functions (family picnic, year-end party), and national appreciations such as Teacher’s Day/Week, Week of the Young Child
