Queens Paideia School is a small, independent, highly regarded K-12 school located in Long Island City, NY. It is known for its 6:1 student-teacher ratio and innovative personalized approach made possible by a small team of teachers helping students achieve personalized learning objectives, often via projects and activities that motivate them. Instead of grades and classes, every student progresses along a customized learning plan at his or her personal best pace. We work with individual students rather than lecture or make presentations to classes. Our goal is to produce self-motivated, independent learners and to instill a long-term love of learning. <\/p>\n
The candidate must be familiar with available instructional resources for the K-6th grade range, and able to create and maintain individualized learning plans responsive to every student's unique learning needs and capabilities. Our teachers work with students individually and in very small groups, also mentoring them and helping them improve their interpersonal, self-management, and organizational skills. The candidate will be attracted by the opportunity to work with a small team of committed educational innovators on a demonstration project that has visibility in the educational community. <\/p>\n
