Coburg Community Charter School is looking for an enthusiastic and student centered 1st grade teacher to join our school community. CCCS is a small charter school with 1 class of 25 students per grade level, grades K-8. We are looking for someone who values and supports our ‘people first’ approach to developing and sustaining a comprehensive education program that does great things for kids.
CCCS offers prospective educators a truly special school environment where the educators are empowered to teach, the families are involved and supportive of our staff, and our colleagues are intrinsically invested in keeping our school a great place to be. We recognize the value and importance of a work/school environment that is supportive and responsive to needs in the classroom, and as such our staff appreciates the freedom to “be a teacher” that is created here at CCCS.
This position offers the chance to really get to know the families and colleagues with whom we work, and be an integral part of a unique school community. As such, the perfect person for this critical role is someone who independently strives to make sure each child receives a top notch experience, and professionally enjoys the opportunities to wear some different hats around the school. Educators that thrive on and can leverage relational connections will do well here at CCCS.
