Full Job Description

Role Overview

We are seeking a versatile and passionate educator to lead a self-contained 5th-grade classroom. You will be the primary instructor for all core content areas—Literacy, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies—allowing you to build deep, year-long relationships with your students and integrate curriculum across disciplines.

Responsibilities:

Integrated Instruction: Design cross-curricular units that connect Iowa Core Literacy standards with Social Studies and Science (e.g., using informational texts about Iowa’s ecosystem to teach evidence-based writing).
Mathematical Foundations: Lead the critical transition from concrete arithmetic to algebraic thinking, following curriculum, focusing on the 5th-grade "power standards" of fraction operations and volume.
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL): Implement the school-wide PBIS and MTSS frameworks to support the unique developmental needs of pre-adolescents as they prepare for Middle School.
Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP): Prepare students for state testing through rigorous daily instruction and the development of critical thinking skills.
TLC Collaboration: Collaborate with other teachers and engage with Instructional Coaches and Mentors.

Subject Area Priorities

Subject

5th Grade Focus Areas (Iowa Core)

Literacy

Analyzing multiple accounts of the same event; mastering the "5-paragraph" structured essay; expanding academic vocabulary.

Math

Fluency with fractions (addition/subtraction/multiplication/division); understanding 3D space/volume; coordinate planes.

Science

Matter and its interactions; ecosystem dynamics; Earth’s place in the universe (aligned with NGSS/Iowa Science Standards).

Social Studies

Early American History (pre-colonization through the Constitution) and Iowa's geographic and civic history.

Required Certifications

Endorsement 102: Elementary Classroom.
Mandatory Reporter Training: Must hold current Iowa Certification for Child and Dependent Adult Abuse.
Background Check: Successful completion of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) background check.

Key Competencies for the Self-Contained Model

Time Management: Ability to manage a complex daily schedule that includes "Specials" (Art,PE, etc.), RTI (Response to Intervention) blocks, and core instruction.
Relationship Building: Since you spend the entire day with the same cohort, you must demonstrate high emotional intelligence and the ability to maintain a positive, stable environment.
Differentiated "Tier 1" Instruction: The ability to teach a whole-group lesson and then immediately pivot to small-group stations to support diverse learning levels within the same room.

Application Requirements

Current Resume.
Copy of Iowa Teaching License (or proof of pending graduation/licensure).
Transcripts from an accredited University.
Two Professional References.
