• Observe and assess student progress to guide individualized instruction

• Foster strong relationships with students, families, and colleagues

• Collaborate with team members to support school-wide initiatives and interdisciplinary learning

• Experience working with early elementary students (K–1)

• Passion for hands-on, experiential learning

• Strong classroom management and relationship-building skills

• Ability to collaborate effectively in a co-teaching model
