Full Job Description

Teacher and Assistant Teacher 2026/2027 School Year

The Mayapple School, a nature-based preschool program in Blacksburg, VA, is seeking joyful, knowledgeable individuals to join our team in the Teacher and Assistant Teacher roles in mixed-age classrooms (3-5 year olds). We're looking for educators with the appropriate disposition and background to be a great fit for our school.

Key Responsibilities

I. Classroom Environment & Management

Positive Interactions: Interact positively with children and families. We believe that all children have inherent worth and are capable of learning, and our teachers are involved in every aspect of classroom life.
Environment Design & Maintenance: Design and maintain organized, beautiful, and clean learning environments, both indoors and out, that encourage child-led use, safety, learning, and challenge (viewing the environment as the "third teacher").
Classroom Leadership: Maintain a safe, playful, and loving classroom. Manage the classroom assertively with warmth, empathy, and trust, actively scanning to take the "pulse" of the group and individual children's actions. Redirect children as necessary and use proactive classroom management strategies.
Problem Solving & Conflict Resolution: Facilitate problem solving and conflict resolution using positive discipline and gentle guidance, viewing these as learning opportunities. Observe children’s emotional lives to plan activities and scaffold opportunities for social-emotional skill development and social responsibility.
Supervision & Ratios: Create, maintain, and oversee all routines needed for smooth classroom operation, including maintaining appropriate teacher:student ratios and sound & sight supervision, and responding to children's needs.
Health & Safety: Conduct daily health observations for each child. Maintain an up-to-date Pediatric CPR and First Aid certificate. Fill out injury reports, perform first aid as needed, and communicate with parents about illnesses and injuries, maintaining injury report files.
Cleaning & Organization: Create, maintain, and oversee cleaning routines, including daily cleaning of restrooms and high-touch surfaces, deep cleaning, laundering cleaning cloths and other items, and shopping for cleaning supplies.

II. Curriculum & Instruction

Outdoor Immersion: Facilitate the enjoyment of the outdoors in all weather, viewing it as a second classroom. Interact with students and participate in classroom life outdoors as you would indoors. Share nature knowledge or learn alongside children about the natural world, acting as a guide on trips to Price Park and in the 1/8 acre Educational Garden.
Atelierista: Facilitate the exploration of the 100 languages of childhood in the atelier, the artists’ workshop, using process-based art and provocations.
Philosophical Alignment and Implementation: Have familiarity with progressive educational philosophies and methods such as Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and Constructivism. Guide curriculum development and implementation with a strong philosophical foundation. Utilize research-based, developmentally appropriate teaching practices that encourage critical thinking, creativity, and metacognition. Plan activities and facilitate child-chosen and free play compatible with a child-led, play-based progressive curriculum that views children as capable agents, including project-based learning.
Lesson Planning and Implementation: Work closely with other full-time educators weekly to plan and/or share lesson plans, behavioral plans, and classroom information. Plan small and large group lessons based on child interest and abilities, covering all content areas outlined in The Mayapple School’s curriculum. Plan for higher-order thinking questions and multi-step activities to engage students in creating, analyzing, evaluating, and applying knowledge (Bloom’s Taxonomy). Lead small and large group activities and use intentional interactions so students gain the most from each learning experience, including during free choice time.

III. Student Support & Family Communication

Child Documentation & Assessment: Lead and plan for individual child documentation (e.g., observation records, portfolio maintenance). Provide regular observations for all children and continually strive to improve assessment and communication.
Parent-Teacher Conferences: Meet with parents up to three times per year for conferences to discuss children’s performance, providing written feedback at least two of those times.
Ongoing Family Communication: Communicate group work and classroom activities through a monthly or twice-monthly newsletter. Ensure parents are informed of special events. Be available by phone or email for time-sensitive family concerns, following communication guidelines in the parent handbook.

IV. Collaboration & Professional Development

Team Collaboration: Work effectively with other staff.
Staff Guidance: Set a positive example for and guide volunteers, substitutes, and assistant staff through verbal directions and requests, ensuring follow-through. Meet with the Director to discuss performance and any concerns.
Professional Growth: Participate in professional development and be responsive to Director feedback. Work towards goals set in annual reviews.
School Events & Workdays: Attend regular school hours as agreed upon, including arriving 15 minutes before and staying 15 minutes after student hours. Expect to remain at school or meet virtually one afternoon per week for lesson planning. Attend Mayapple School teacher workdays, including orientations and clean-up days, and at least 75% of events held outside school hours (e.g., potlucks, open houses).
Compliance & Time Management: Follow all school and licensure regulations. Manage work time and time off by fulfilling weekly hours and tracking time off. Request time off with advance notice, checking with co-teachers to ensure classroom coverage and substitute availability.
Supply Management: Shop for needed lesson plan and other classroom supplies. Organize the teacher supply cabinet.
Director Support: Assist the Director in further duties as capable and within contract hours.

Qualifications and Experience

Preferred candidates will have one or more of the following:

Associate's, Bachelor's, or Master's degree in Elementary or Environmental Education, Human Development, or a related field.
One or more years of experience developing and implementing educational programming in a formal education or nature education setting.

Enthusiastic candidates with the right disposition are encouraged to apply and will be considered for a position with potential for advancement, even if they do not meet all preferred criteria.
