Job Description: Lower Elementary School Lead Montessori Teacher/Guide
Title: Lower Elementary Lead Montessori Guide (Full-time)
Location: Acton Academy Kingwood; we have a brand new facility at 23979 Wildwood Rd, Porter, TX, 77365
Compensation: $ 45,000 per year
Benefits: 2 weeks paid vacation, 3.5 weeks paid school holidays
About Our School:
Acton Academy Kingwood is part of the Acton Academy Network of over 300 schools worldwide. We use an innovative, learner-driven approach to education that combines the best of Montessori learning, the Socratic method, hands-on experiential learning, and we embrace technology through interactive e-learning software. Our learning environment feels more like an adventure--that keeps students’ natural spark for learning alive--than a school.
We have mixed-aged classrooms called "studios" where learning is self-paced and learner-led. We do not have grade-levels, one-size-fits-all curricula, or standardized testing. Our real world-oriented projects culminate in public exhibitions of learning instead of grades and report cards. In all areas of Acton life, students are encouraged and empowered to be in the driver’s seat of their learning.
Job Description:
We are seeking a lead Montessori guide for our 6-8 year-old studio.
Acton Academy Kingwood guides are not teachers in the traditional sense; they are coaches, mentors, Socratic discussion leaders, imaginative game makers, and role models who love to learn, have a heart for children, are loving, patient, observant, and a good balance of kind hearted and tough minded. A guide’s ultimate goals are to equip, connect, and inspire students to explore and take ownership of their learning.
Qualifications:
An ideal candidate will have a deep heart for children and a trust and respect for their ability to learn and grow without heavy adult intervention. He or she must have passion for disruptive education and will be deeply curious and ready to learn and work hard. He or she will be agile with online learning and have excellent writing and interpersonal communication skills. He or she will be both kind-hearted and tough-minded with a calm demeanor.
- On-the-ground experience working with youth in the 6-8 year-old age range is required.
- Elementary Montessori experience is highly desirable.
- A flexible, lifelong-learner mindset is required. This position will require someone who is interested in learning Montessori and Acton methods and someone who is excited about teaching in a non-traditional environment.
- A bachelor’s degree in any subject or commensurate experience is desirable.
