The Blake School seeks a bright and dedicated Early Learning Center teacher librarian. The ideal candidate will foster children's curiosity and inquiry work within Blake's Reggio-inspired program, guiding them to explore, ask questions and establish meaningful connections. Through library visits and classroom collaborations with teachers, the teacher librarian nurtures critical thinkers and enthusiastic readers. Candidates must have extensive knowledge of diverse voices in children’s literature, experience partnering with elementary teachers and the managerial acumen to administer library operations including collection management, programming and volunteer opportunities.
This is a 1.0 FTE position beginning in 2024-25. Blake is particularly interested in candidates who will enrich the diversity of identity and lived experience that strengthens a community and empowers students to engage across differences. Blake provides substantial resources for professional learning in areas including adolescent development, learning differences and intercultural competence.
The committee will begin the review of applications on Dec. 11. Blake will cover the travel and lodging costs for finalist candidates visiting from out of town.
