For the 2022-23 academic year, the Eugene Waldorf School is currently seeking an experienced class/lead teacher for the Grades classes. Established in 1980, our school has deep roots in the local community and provides a comprehensive Waldorf education to students in preschool through eighth grade. Our four-acre campus is nestled in the southwest hills of Eugene, Oregon which is a vibrant, artistic, and eco-conscious community.

In addition to lesson planning and classroom teaching, lead teachers are expected to meet and work with current and prospective parents, hold parent-teacher conferences, and prepare student reports. To support healthy collaboration in the school, each teacher works with a mentor, attends weekly faculty meetings, assists with school events, and joins in committee work. In order to strengthen our school’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging work, as well as implementing trauma sensitive school practices, attending ongoing training/professional development sessions is required.
