Teaching Careers at Our School
Pre-K teachers work with young children, typically ages 3-5, to develop foundational skills in literacy, numeracy, and social interaction. They create a nurturing environment that fosters early learning and growth, focusing on play-based and exploratory learning techniques.
Kindergarten teachers introduce children to basic academic concepts and help them develop social skills. They use creative activities such as storytelling, arts and crafts, and games to engage students and lay the groundwork for their future education.
Elementary school teachers educate children in grades 1-5 or 1-6, covering a broad range of subjects including mathematics, reading, science, and social studies. They focus on developing core academic skills, encouraging curiosity, and fostering a love of learning.
Middle school teachers specialize in teaching students in grades 6-8. They often focus on specific subjects such as English, math, science, or history. Middle school educators help students transition from elementary to secondary education, developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
High school teachers instruct students in grades 9-12 in specialized subjects such as literature, biology, algebra, history, and more. They prepare students for college and careers by teaching advanced concepts, fostering analytical skills, and guiding them through important educational milestones.
Special education teachers work with students who have a wide range of learning, mental, emotional, and physical disabilities. They tailor educational plans to meet individual needs, using specialized teaching methods and adaptive technologies to support student learning and development.
Substitute teachers step in when regular teachers are absent. They follow lesson plans provided by the permanent teacher, manage the classroom, and ensure students continue learning in the teacher's absence. Substitute teaching offers a flexible career path and a chance to work across various grade levels and subjects.
School counselors support students' academic, career, and social/emotional development. They provide guidance on educational pathways, assist with college and career planning, and offer support for personal and social issues. Counselors work with students, parents, and teachers to create a positive and supportive school environment.
Physical education teachers promote physical fitness and healthy lifestyles among students. They teach sports, games, and physical activities, emphasizing the importance of regular exercise, teamwork, and sportsmanship. They also educate students on health and nutrition.
