Class V Head Teacher, Leave Replacement, Jan - May
Marymount School seeks an experienced and dynamic head teacher to lead a fifth grade homeroom in our Lower Middle School Division. Head teachers are responsible for building strong classroom communities in which all students feel welcome, known, and inspired to learn. Class V teachers plan as a team to differentiate instruction in student-centered lessons that develop students' academic habits, foundational knowledge, and skills in mathematics, language arts, and social studies. Ideal candidates enjoy building strong relationships with students, families, and colleagues, as they regularly communicate with families and administrators and collaborate with their grade level team and specialist teachers to plan and deliver Marymount’s curriculum. Experience with collaborative, project-based learning is a plus, and a willingness to embrace technology, as Marymount students use various technologies to support their learning, including 1:1 iPads and a FabLab. Experience with the Judith Hochman approach to expository writing and Singapore Math is a plus.
This position begins as a leave-replacement for fifth grade on January 5. If a teacher is successful in this role, there will be an opportunity for them to continue as a head teacher for the 2026-27 school year.
Responsibilities include:
- Work with students in whole and small groups to support their skills in Language Arts, Mathematics, and Social Studies.
- Attend faculty and student support meetings
- Collaborate, communicate, and plan with teachers, administrators, and families (and at times, outside providers) in order to support student needs
- Supervisory duties and responsibilities as requested by divisional head
Requirements:
- A degree in education, learning specialist or a related field
- Experience working in a school setting with upper elementary students
- A commitment to equity and belonging in teaching practices
- Excellent communication and organization skills
