Great Oak School is seeking a PART TIME MOVEMENT TEACHER beginning in the fall of 2023. 

We are seeking a part time Movement Teacher who can share their love of games, sport, movement and play with our first through eighth grade students. This position will ideally be responsible to teach fourteen classes a week with some scheduling flexibility. We are hoping that this teacher will be able to nimbly plan and lead classes for all ages in order to teach and model movement skills that will serve our students for a lifetime.

An ideal candidate would:

• Have passion and skill for teaching movement and games, primarily outdoors, with mixed ages of elementary and middle school students. 
• Hold a bachelor's degree or have equivalent experience.
• Ideally hold a Waldorf certificate (but we are set up well to support teachers in their Waldorf training or hoping to start their Waldorf teacher training).
• Have excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Have strengths in developing and maintaining professional relationships with parents and faculty.
• Be a life-long learner interested in the Waldorf curriculum, child development, and self-development.

Come join a wonderful, growing school as we embark on our 14th year. Our warm, tight faculty is committed to the anthroposophical view of human development, to teacher self-development, shared governance, collaborative mentorship, healthy communication and taking good care of ourselves as we care for others. 

Though we are close to Houston, the school itself is located in charming Tomball, Texas. Tomball is originally a small German settlement town, now with a historic main street, a German heritage museum, farmer’s markets, and independent businesses. Tomball offers a small town feel with quick access to Houston that offers extraordinary culture, food, arts, sports, higher education and an economically robust job market (if needed by another family member). 

Our campus is surrounded by oak, pine, and pecan trees, with access to surrounding woods and several gardens. Great Oak offers preschool through eighth grades as full WECAN members and registered initiative of AWSNA.
