Waldorf Teachers.com - Waldorf Employment in Waldorf Schools

Kona Pacific Public Charter School seeks an experienced teacher to join our second grade for the second half of the school year. The position will begin on January 3rd. While our ideal is to find the permanent teacher for the class, we encourage inquiries from teachers that would like to come to the Big Island for just the semester.

Kona Pacific provides an educational program inspired by Waldorf education and firmly rooted in the land and culture of the Hawaiian Islands. We seek pioneering, visionary, flexible individuals with a passion for serving a diverse community.

We are looking for an individual who loves working with children, learning new things, and being challenged. Kona Pacific offers a comprehensive education that weaves together three strands:

• A holistic education inspired by Waldorf education;

• An educational program that embraces the values of Hawaiian culture, with particular focus on environmental education and community sustainability through understanding and respect for the people, land and sea of Hawai'i; and

• A curriculum rich in the life-sustaining practices of farming and gardening that are a vital part of Hawai'i Island life.

Our school serves a diverse population that might not otherwise have access to a Waldorf-inspired curriculum. Approximately 70% of our students are eligible for free/reduced cost lunch, and 15% come from families where English is not the primary language. Each student at Kona Pacific is inspired to a high level of academic excellence, enthusiasm for learning, a healthy self-awareness, interest and concern for others, and respect for the natural world.

Minimum qualifications: Bachelor's Degree, Waldorf credential or equivalent experience, 2 years experience working with children.

Desirable qualifications include: extensive teaching experience, state teaching credential.

Start date: January 3, 2012.

Compensation: The Kona Pacific salary schedule rewards educators who have completed rigorous Waldorf teacher training programs as well as public school certification. Great state benefits and professional development opportunities.

Contact: We appreciate receiving applications via email, though we will accept faxes at (808) 322-4906. Please send a cover letter and resume to hiring@kppcs.org. Please indicate "Second Grade" in the subject line of the email. You will be contacted by a member of the Hiring Committee if we are interested in pursuing your application.
