Seeking: Rock Star Teacher for Intermediate School


Pine Cobble School seeks a fourth grade teacher for the 2015-2016 school year.

This job is for you if:

  • You adore teaching, you’re kind of a rock star at it, and you want the freedom and flexibility to do it well.
  • You’re also an explorer, a philosopher, a star-gazer, and an adventurer.
  • You aspire not only to nourish children’s minds, but also to stir their hearts and souls.
  • You set big, reach-for-the-stars goals for yourself and your students, and you plan purposefully and exhaustively to reach them.
  • You’re also fearless in the face of failure, because you know that’s where the greatest learning happens.
  • You count among your personal friends Harriet M. Welsch, Claudia Kincaid, Samwise Gamgee, Meg Murray, Josh “Filthy McNasty” Bell, Auggie Pullman, Fern Arable, and/or Neville Longbottom.
  • You know that math and poetry both hold the secrets of the universe, and your favorite question is “why.”
  • Like Einstein, you’re certain that imagination is the grandest form of intelligence.
  • You’ve discovered that the best way to inspire kids to work hard is allowing them to play hard, too.
  • You know the secret to great teaching: that kids give their top efforts when you give your own.
