Aug 19, 2026 Job Description The Ottauquechee School in Hartford, VT seeks dynamic and dedicated teachers for 2 classroom teaching positions beginning in the 2026-2027 school year. We are a PreK-5 school with an enrollment of just over 200 students and a highly collaborative culture. We believe that all students can achieve more than they imagine possible across the dimensions of skills and knowledge, character, and high-quality work, and we support all students to become their own authentic versions of effective learners and ethical people who contribute to a better world. In order to build a sense of belonging for all learners, we center the use of equity-centered, culturally responsive and trauma-informed practices. Our teachers infuse inquiry into all disciplines, build scholars' capacity for higher order thinking, prioritize student-engaged assessment, use data to inform instruction, and above all, model and foster a growth mindset. Ideal candidates will demonstrate excellent classroom management skills, a strong and reflective instructional practice across content areas, and experience in guiding diverse learners to achieve excellence through differentiation. In addition, familiarity with structured literacy approaches (for example Orton Gillingham or LETRS) and/or knowledge-building literacy curricula is preferred. Candidates with experience in problem- or project-based learning are encouraged to apply. The Ottauquechee School, in alignment with Hartford School District's Anti-Racism Policy, believes that the educational experience of every student is enhanced through the professional contributions of representatives of various races, ethnicities, genders, physical abilities, ages and sexual orientations, and that a diverse and culturally competent faculty is essential in the creation of a rigorous learning environment free of bias and inequities. •Please note that the salary schedule for next year is currently in negotiation between the Hartford Education Association and the district Board of Directors.
