| Brightworks School in San Francisco is Hiring World Class Educators Position: Elementary School Collaborator (aka teacher) Brightworks has been at the cutting edge of learner-driven education since its founding in 2011 and we continue to push the envelope of what is possible in education. We are a school that says “Yes.” You want to send a GoPro to the stratosphere in a weather balloon? Let’s do it! You want to build a sail car and go on a journey down an abandoned railway? Sure thing! You want to investigate how we can help the homeless? Alright, let’s figure it out together! We trust that children are instinctual learners, and we value partnering with them on their educational path. That is why we call our teachers “Collaborators”. To be here is to work side by side lovingly and in full support of the children who populate this place with their dreams, attempts and ideas. We ask Collaborators to think big, improvise, and learn alongside students. By taking the best practices from early childhood education and emergent, project-based experiential learning, we strive to meet students' needs in a flexible, mixed-age environment that breaks the traditional walls between school and the community outside the classroom. Brightworks is in its ninth year and currently consists of ~80 students ages 5-18. Brightworks is seeking experienced candidates for the teaching position of Elementary School Collaborator for the 2020/2021 school year. The Collaborator will be responsible for mentoring and designing interdisciplinary projects for a group of 10-12 elementary school-age students. Application Procedure To apply for the position of Collaborator, we ask applicants to send the following PDF documents to [email protected]: - Cover Letter Who are you? What is your journey?
