Associate Teacher, Lower Division
25 Days Old
Stevenson School is a PK-12 co-educational, college-preparatory boarding and day school with enrollment of 770 students on two campuses in beautiful Central Coast California. The Upper Division campus (Grades 9-12) is located in Pebble Beach. The Lower/Middle Divisions Campus (Grades PK-8) is in nearby Carmel-by-the-Sea. Stevenson is a mission-driven school that aims to help students shape joyful lives while instilling a passion for learning and achievement to prepare them for success in school and beyond.
To support small group learning for our elementary students, each PK - Grade 4 classroom features two educators. The Associate Teacher Program is designed as a one to three year placement that prepares aspiring and early career educators for a lead teacher position. The program offers an immersive experience in an elementary or early childhood classroom. Working alongside a lead teacher who serves as a mentor, associate teachers have the opportunity to hone lesson planning and classroom management skills, practice and develop pedagogical approaches appropriate to small group and whole class instruction to meet the needs of each student, and participate in ongoing curriculum development across academic subjects. Associate teachers will engage in ongoing professional development offered to all lower division faculty in areas such as social emotional learning and Responsive Classroom as well as training opportunities specifically geared to early career educators.
The associate teacher program is ideally suited to aspiring educators who have recently completed education degree programs (bachelor’s or master’s level) or have completed a degree in a related academic field and have meaningful experience working with children between the ages of 5 - 12.
