3rd - 5th Upper Elementary Teacher 24-25SY

Movement Schools is a rapidly growing network of public charter schools. We exist to love and value students by leading a movement of change in education through academic excellence, character development, and preparation for success in life. We believe in the inherent value and dignity of every child, and build schools where students and staff thrive.

Each Movement School is part of a larger community investment to help children and families thrive. These broader investments include early-childhood education, wellness centers, and after-school care.

Our teachers lead in developing the mind and character of our students. Each upper elementary classroom is led by two teachers in a co-teaching structure. Our co-teaching structure allows for professional collaboration, relationship building, and a focus on small-group instruction. Our upper elementary classrooms are departmentalized with teachers teaching either language arts, math, or science and social studies.

All teachers are provided with best-in-class, research-based curriculum for all subjects. Each Friday at Movement School is a half-day for students, allowing teachers time for weekly professional development related to data analysis, management, and instruction.
