Rossman School is searching for an experienced teacher to serve as a Junior Kindergarten teacher for the 2024-2025 academic year.  As the entry year at Rossman School, this play-based program provides a critical academic, social, and emotional foundation for our students. The ideal candidate will work collaboratively with two other full-time teachers as an integral part of the Junior Kindergarten team.

The Junior Kindergarten program team jointly plans and teaches language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and art and interchanges teaching responsibilities across all curricular areas. The primary focus of the language arts curriculum is the development of essential pre-reading and writing skills. Through both small group and whole group instruction, teachers provide a variety of interactive and hands-on activities centered around concepts of print, phonemic awareness, phonics, letter formation, and pre-writing skills. Children are exposed to high-quality children’s literature through daily interactive read-alouds, intended to nurture a love of reading in children through exposure to a wide variety of authors, topics, and genres. 

Mathematical development is also integrated through small group and whole group learning experiences. Children develop their number sense through games and activities designed to support counting, number identification, one-to-one correspondence, ordinal numbers, patterns, and early addition. Daily calendar time offers students the opportunity to develop counting, place value, graphing, and patterning skills.

The Junior Kindergarten team also develops and executes developmentally appropriate lessons in the areas of science, social studies, and art. Though there are more structured opportunities for science and social studies learning in the curriculum, the team also looks for teachable moments and interests that arise from the class to guide emergent experiences for exploration. Rossman’s extensive natural landscape offers many rich opportunities for scientific study, and the Junior Kindergarten class makes frequent visits to our Pollnow Nature Trail. In addition to a broad selection of open-ended artistic experiences, Junior Kindergarten students are introduced to a collection of famous artists over the year and emulate a selection of well-known works. Students also enjoy specialty classes taught outside their homeroom, including Spanish, library, music, and physical education. 

Social-emotional learning is also a key component of the Junior Kindergarten curriculum. A caring classroom community is developed through the close individual relationships between teachers and students. Junior Kindergarten implements the Responsive Classroom approach, anchoring each day around morning meetings where students greet and connect with each other. Teachers engage in interactive modeling of social exchanges and support problem-solving conversations between students. Daily free choice time allows students to explore interests, try new opportunities, and practice sharing and turn-taking with peers.  

Regular parent-teacher communication is an expectation at Rossman School. This individual will work with the other two members of the Junior Kindergarten team to complete report cards (including written comments), participate in parent-teacher conferences, post content to our learning management system (Seesaw), respond to parent emails, and make parent phone calls.

The ideal candidate will have previous early childhood experience and knowledge of developmental milestones for four and five-year-olds. He/she will be committed to collaborative team teaching and designing an effective and challenging curriculum for talented students. He/she will possess a strong work ethic, a love for teaching, the ability to work closely with colleagues in the classroom, flexibility, adaptability, and an overall commitment to a child's academic and social-emotional growth. Experience in an independent school is not required. Salary and benefits will be commensurate with other area independent schools and an applicant's experience. 

Please email a cover letter and resume to Anna Hand at ahand@rossmanschool.org with “Junior Kindergarten Teacher” in the subject line.
