This job is the heart of our school.  Our community is deeply committed to educating the whole child, art unites us at SDCCS.  We are looking for a candidate who can foster both the love and knowlege of art in all of our students.  We are a diverse community and are looking for someone to share their passions, knowledge and can continue our well developed art department. Although our program is well developed teachers are treated as professionals and have the freedom to create curriculum that translates to the students in front of them. We believe that art should be taught and integrated within all of our classrooms.  This is an amazing opportunity for someone who is organized, a skilled teacher and has a true love of teaching art. Our community is very responsive to any support teachers need and the Art Teacher will have $3000 available for supplies, in addition to opportunities to work with our Parent Staff Association for larger projects.

Mission

San Diego Cooperative Charter Schools (SDCCS) support progressive, developmentally based, child-centered communities for active and collaborative student learning where shared values of family, diversity, relationship, creativity and academic excellence flourish.

San Diego Cooperative Charter Schools (SDCCS) believes that learning is a very individual process.  Each of us constructs and revises our understanding of the world every day. The way individuals learn best is dependent on many factors:  developmental stage, environment, personality, interests and social style are just some of the things that influence our ability to learn new concepts.  Constructivism is the educational philosophy that is the basis for our teaching methodology.  The constructivist model relies on research indicating that the deepest understanding of knowledge is created through exploration, reasoning, and discussion.  If you reflect for a moment on how you as an adult learn a new concept or skill, you are most likely to find that interaction, questioning, and practice each play a part.
