Lower School teachers (PreK-5) work in self-contained classrooms of typically 20 students each.  Lower School teachers focus on three core academic areas:  mathematics, language arts, and social studies.  Physical education, Spanish language, science, music, art, library, and computer technology are taught by specialists.  Collaboration and communication between homeroom and specialist teachers is a high value in the Lower School.

We are seeking an educator who is passionate about teaching.  The ideal candidate will have 3-5 years of elementary classroom experience, including a strong background in early literacy and mathematics instruction, and experience and facility with technology integration, curriculum development, and working collaboratively with a team. The successful candidate will possess excellent communication skills with parents and colleagues, add strength to the school community, and show evidence of continuing professional development.  A Master’s degree in elementary education or a related field and a teaching credential is preferred. Experience with Investigations (or a similar conceptual math curriculum), Lucy Calkins Writer’s Workshop, and Responsive Classroom is a plus.

CA offers an excellent compensation package, wide-ranging opportunities for professional development, and an environment notable for its dedicated teaching professionals and supportive administrators.
