At San Jose Episcopal Day School (SJEDS) everything we do is a loving and joyful expression of our mission: to inspire a passion for learning, a life of integrity, and a heart for Christian service. Our faculty are the heart of our school, beloved by students and parents alike for their warmth, responsiveness, creativity, professionalism, and exceptional commitment to helping every child meet his or her great potential. Lifelong learners themselves, our faculty model the characteristics they seek to cultivate in their students: love, wisdom, open-mindedness, responsibility, service, honesty, respect, patience, faith, and gratitude.
KEY ATTRIBUTES
We are currently seeking a joyful and passionate 4th Grade Math Teacher who brings energy, creativity, and deep content knowledge to the classroom. This teacher will serve as a departmentalized math instructor for 4th grade and will collaborate closely with the 4th grade ELA teacher to ensure continuity and cohesion across the curriculum. Students will transition between the two classrooms, so a team-oriented mindset, flexibility, and strong communication skills are essential. We’re looking for someone who not only teaches math but brings it to life, making learning fun, meaningful, and engaging for young learners.
Our faculty members are responsible for planning, preparing, and delivering active, interactive, challenging, and purposeful learning experiences that ignite our students' imaginations and inspire a lifelong love of learning. Our faculty take their responsibilities seriously but approach their work with a playful spirit. They relish cross-grade level and departmental projects and seek opportunities to tinker with new techniques and resources. Aspirational by nature, our faculty are also researchers, continuously collecting formative and summative assessment data and using it to track student progress and to inform future instruction. With small class sizes, they delight in partnering closely with students and families to help each learner achieve their personal goals. Our faculty use the Responsive Classroom approach to build safe, positive, and inclusive classroom communities, manage effectively, offer challenging and engaging academics, and match their instruction to their students’ developmental strengths and needs.
