We seek candidates with a demonstrated commitment to the intrinsic value of Art Education and its related critical thinking skills. This position requires strong skills in and ability to teach a variety of media including 2D (Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Design), 3D (Sculpture, Ceramics, Woodworking), and Digital Media platforms.
Tandem Friends seeks teachers who bring diverse skills and knowledge, a willingness to learn new things, and an appreciation for collaboration with students. At TFS, all teachers are active community members who share in the general support and care of the school community, serve as student advisors, and participate in community service and overnight trips among other activities. Responsibilities for this position also include collaboration and participation in the school-wide arts department and facilitation of art-related co-curricular activities.
A background in teaching art to adolescents is expected; experience as a full-time school art teacher is highly desired. Qualified candidates hold a Bachelor’s degree with a concentration in visual arts or a related field. A Master's degree is preferred.
