Reporting to the Head of School through the Deputy Head (or other member of school leadership team) the Lower Elementary Class Teacher will play an integral role in realizing the school’s vision of academic excellence, multiculturalism, and personal well-being.
Hiba Academy Bay Area teachers have the professional responsibility to live out the purpose and values of the school in and out of the classroom. Teachers create an inquiry-rich learning environment that values and engages students, empowering them to attain high levels of achievement; and to grow as curious, confident, and bilingual learners. They work collaboratively within the teaching team to plan, deliver, and reflect on a shared curriculum, taking joint responsibility for shared students and ensuring continuity of learning and respect for each child’s voice and agency. Actively participating in the school’s co-curricular program is a vital role in contributing to the holistic development of students. All teachers contribute to the overall wellbeing of students and are required to demonstrate a commitment to the dual language model, fostering effective and respectful co-teaching partnerships that enrich both student learning and professional practice.
This is a start-up environment and flexibility will be required from all faculty members. Hiba Academy runs a 50:50 dual language model so teachers may be required to teach across two age groups (KG and G1) in the initial year(s) of opening. Teachers are supported by a full-time Teacher Associate in the class at all times.
