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.
