Progressive Teacher Needed in Orlando, Florida (Part Time)

Caravan Learning Cooperative is a start-up academic enrichment program for homeschooling families in Central Florida. Starting in Fall 2015 we plan to offer classes two days a week with a focus on critical thinking in math, reading and science in a mixed aged classroom for grades K — 2. We are seeking a teacher to help make this idea a reality.

Our goal is to provide a positive learning environment where students can improve their abilities, establish friendships, and fuel their curiosity. Educational activities will be rooted in play and meaningful experience. The academics will be individualized to meet each students' needs and interests.

The position would be part time, approximately 18-20 hours a week. 10-12 hours teaching and 6-8 hours prep. The ideal candidate would be an experienced teacher who is seeking a progressive environment to experiment in. Our teacher would design their own curriculum, following basic standards set by the small administration.

Interested candidates should send their resume and a cover letter to caravanlearning@gmail.com. Please include why you are interested in progressive/democratic/holistic/open/free/independent education and describe any previous experience you have or research you have done in alternatives to traditional school.
