Associate Teacher, Pre-Kindergarten Classroom
New Today
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 and supports small group learning for our lower division students with two educators in each classroom, PK - Grade 4 . 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 4 - 12.
