ShareThe Cornell School is a small, private preschool in the Cedar Mill / Forest Heights area with 32 children (16 per classroom with 2 teachers per room). We have a new building set on 3 acres of property with a huge natural outdoor play area. Our philosophy is a mix of Reggio and Montessori and you can learn more about out school at www.thecornellschool.com. You can also see the school on Google street view. We are looking for a qualified Preschool Teacher to prepare small children for kindergarten by easing them into organized education. You will teach them important elements that they will encounter soon after they enter school life. A preschool teacher must have a great love and patience for children. Qualifications needed to teach them effectively include knowledge of best practices and preschool educational methods as well as the ability to engage them and earn their trust and attention. The goal is to contribute to the healthy mental and emotional development of the child so they can more easily acclimate in the next level of education. We're not a "big box" corporate preschool. We're a small but established school (founded in 2016) and we strongly support our teaching staff with great pay and benefits (healthcare, retirement and continued teacher education), finding the best families, and providing opportunities to grow and develop as an educator. Responsibilities: Develop a careful and creative program suitable for preschool children Employ a variety of educational techniques (storytelling, educational play, media etc.) to teach children Observe each child to help them improve their social competencies and build self-esteem Encourage children to interact with each other and resolve occasional arguments Guide children to develop their artistic and practical capabilities through a carefully constructed curriculum (identify shapes, numbers or colors, do crafts etc.) Organize nap and snack hours and supervise children to ensure they are safe at all times Track children’s progress and report to parents Communicate with parents regularly to understand the children’s background and psyche Collaborate with other educators Maintain a clean and tidy classroom consistent with health and safety standards Skills Proven experience as a preschool teacher or assistant teacher Understanding of the principles of child development and preschool educational methods Familiarity with safety and sanitation guidelines for classrooms Excellent communication and instructional skills Ability to act as mediator between children Cool-tempered, friendly and reliable Balance between a creative mind and a practical acumen Certification in child CPR BA in education, Associates degree in early childhood education or relevant nanny experience preferred We will also consider hiring students who are working part-time on their early childhood degree COVID-19 considerations: We are adhering to Early Learning Division and Oregon State protocols for Covid-19 and haven't had any outbreaks in the school during the past 3 years. We credit this mainly to a strict sick policy and conscientious families who keep kids home when they have cold symptoms.
