Ocean Charter School Classroom Aide

Ocean Charter School uses a Waldorf Educational approach to teach common core standards in a public-school setting. We are accepting applications for Classroom Assistant positions. The ideal candidate is Waldorf certified, holds a clear multiple subject teaching credential, and would potentially transition into a lead teaching position as a grades teacher. Prior teaching experience is preferred. Effective communication with parents and colleagues, and organization is an absolute necessity. This position is a wonderful opportunity for a teacher candidate to become immersed in Waldorf pedagogy, including storytelling, singing, recitation, movement, watercolor painting, drawing and core curriculum. The Classroom Assistant position requires basic reading, writing, and math skills. Applicants MUST have prior experience working with students in TK-8th grade as well as special needs students in this age range. The Classroom Assistant position requires high-level communication and management skills with the ability to successfully assist children with conflict resolution. The Classroom Assistant completes his/her work in the background, while the lead teacher is the primary "ego presence" and voice in the classroom. Applicants must be reliable and punctual, have experience with conflict resolution, young children, special needs students, and have high level communication and management skills.
