We have an opportunity for those looking to become teacher assistants to work in a kindergarten classroom alongside credentialed teachers to support the learning of approximately 20 students (half on line, half on site) with a focus on students in the class with learning disabilities and light documentation on their progress. The TA will also be responsible for supporting groups online, supervising snack times and lunch duty and miscellaneous. Some small group work may be part of the job. The work hours are 8:30-3:00 M-F which total 29.75 hours per week at $15/hr. This position starts immediately and ends on June 11, 2021.

If you choose to apply for this position, you are a person whose practices align with interactive teaching. You enjoy working hard and being dedicated to high quality teaching practices. You are most likely exploring a future career with children. Each day you will be given the opportunity to engage in respectful, relationship based practices. You will participate in a classroom community that supports its members to learn and grow. Within this community you will assist students in challenging and exciting work that is connected to the real world and is purposeful. The foundation for learning at Innovations Academy is inquiry through project-based learning. The ideal candidate will have experience with some type of learning that involves more than paper and pencil and calls children to inquire about their world.

We want teachers assistants who are responsible, interested in education, and able to work with students using no punishments/no rewards. We use Positive Discipline/Restorative Justice as our approach with the ultimate goal of creating intrinsically motivated citizens. We are a creative school with a lot of hands on learning.

Or if you know someone who is interested, please have that person email their resume and letter to Tony at tony@innovationsacademy.org. We will be contacting candidates throughout the application period.
