Search for New Montessori Teacher

We are seeking an experienced elementary Montessori guide to teach at our small, parent-run, public charter program beginning August 2012. The candidate must possess a California multiple subject teaching credential or be eligible, and be AMI or AMS certified to work with six through twelve year old children. Experience with public school education, grant writing, and administration desired.

Montessori Del Mar, set on the bluffs of the Pacific ocean, is a parent-run elementary learning center that has been serving the Mendocino coast of California since 2007. Our program offers integrated music and performing arts education, a vibrant parent group, and gives the teachers funding and support to provide authentic Montessori education. Montessori Del Mar currently serves 28 students Kindergarten through 6th grade.

We receive state funding for salary and benefits for teachers, site supervisors, and classroom assistants. Our parent non-profit corporation, Friends of Montessori del Mar funds the facility, materials and supplies, and other miscellaneous expenses. A private 2-6 primary program is attached to the learning center with children moving up to the elementary each fall.

This position provides a unique opportunity to work within a model of school reform. Our students are meeting and exceeding state standards and work at their own individual level. Our teachers enjoy a flexible method of teaching where they have the privilege to create a Montessori program which meets the needs of a small group of dedicated families. Our families are empowered to participate in the daily running of the learning center. Our non-profit fundraising group is run by a volunteer board of directors and works closely with the teachers to provide support of every kind. Our family environment meets the needs of each child academically, socially and spiritually.

Teacher salary is based on experience with a benefit package including medical, dental and vision coverage as well as contribution toward the states teacher retirement fund.
