Progressive learning community Seeking Constructivist Math Specialist

 

About the Attic Learning Community:

Founded in 1999, the Attic is a dynamic learning community located in Woodinville, Washington, serving children ages 5-18.  Our teaching and learning practices are based on constructivism (Piaget’s scientific theory that explains how human beings construct knowledge) and Socratic teaching methods. Our core academic classes meet three days per week MTW, giving children and their families downtime and time to pursue outside interests.  

At the Attic children are deeply known by a supportive circle of adults as well as multi-age peers. Our community is one where children are accepted as their true self, comfortable to explore freely, and confident to challenge themselves and try new things.  A community where the developmental curriculum is flexibly designed to meet each child’s unique needs, interests, and abilities and expand them through authentically meaningful constructivist experiences.  A community where children feel ownership of their educational journey and where their innate motivation to learn is sparked to life and fanned into a strong flame. 

Our faculty is comprised of passionate educators who recognize the innate potential that lies within every child; who challenge students to approach learning with an open, inquisitive, and critical mind and to go beyond the “facts” toward understanding the “why” and “how”; and who give children authentic choices and a voice in their education.  Because we highly value the development of self-direction and intrinsic motivation, we do not use grades, rewards, or punishments. At every level, progress and growth are documented using detailed narrative assessments.

At the Attic we are deeply committed to the ongoing growth and development of our faculty. We reflect often on our teaching practices and work collaboratively to understand and implement constructivist and child-centered teaching methods. Our ideal candidate will have thoroughly explored our website at www.the-attic.org. He/she is energized by our approach and our mission, committed to his/her own growth and development as an educator, specifically drawn to teaching young children in a constructivist and child-centered teaching/learning environment, and open to receiving mentoring, regardless of years of experience.

This position reports Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 8:45am-1:15pm, from September 26, 2016 through May 31, 2017. In addition, our faculty meets beginning mid- September and then once a month on Fridays 9am-3pm October-May. Successful candidate could have opportunities to take on more responsibilities with time.

Responsibilities:

Serve as Constructivist Math Teacher intern-teaching with a master math-specialist and doing some solo-teaching.

This is an opportunity to work in a highly collaborative and constructivist environment.

Qualifications/Salary

B.A./B.S. or currently pursuing degree. Masters degree or higher, a plus. A passion for learning and an enthusiasm for team-teaching are required.
