Our incoming associate teacher must possess outstanding skills for maximizing learning and a commitment to helping nurture a school that rivals the best private schools in New York City. The associate teacher has the following core responsibilities:

• Lead co-curricular programs: recess, lunch, athletics, study hall, and advisory.
• Teach one academic area of interest and skill (often science, reading, or writing).
• Demonstrate professional conduct and a thoughtful, team-oriented approach in timeliness, attendance, communication, decision-making, follow-through, and adherence to school policies.
• Manage routines and environments to ensure safety, academic performance, holistic growth, and a warm and inviting classroom culture that reinforces our school creed.
• Build genuine relationships with families through daily engagement, formal and informal written correspondence, meetings, and volunteer opportunities.
• Reflect on and improve professional practices with mission focus, depth, and honesty.
