Middle School Resource Teacher

The Middle School Resource Teacher teaches small-group middle school classes focused on independent learning skills while overseeing student progress in self-paced ASL coursework.

The Resource Teacher will collaborate with the Learning Specialists, Math Specialist, teachers, and families to support and communicate regarding student progress and needs.

As members of the teaching faculty, the Resource Teacher should be ready to chaperone class trips and engage fully in all school or division-wide events/experiences that develop the whole child in a Catholic, independent school community.

As with any employee at Mayfield Junior School, there is an expectation that this person will be open to peer feedback, creative discussion, and child-centered in their approach.

All employees at Mayfield Junior School should familiarize themselves with the mission and vision statement and be prepared to actively teach with Holy Child goals in mind.
