Physical Education Teacher and Athletic Director Position

(Start August 1, 2023)

We’re looking for a physical education teacher to teach physical education and games in grades 1-8. The teacher will teach 18 physical education periods per week. Grades 1-8 have two periods per week for age-appropriate games.

The position also includes an “athletic director” component, which requires sports coaching for grades 6-8 during after-school hours. We have after-school basketball and volleyball. There will also be a few athletic events to coordinate, such as 5th grade regional Pentathlon, 6th grade Medieval Games and track/field for grades 7 and/or 8.

Successful previous teaching experience is essential. A California single-subject teaching credential in physical education, or enrolled in a program pursuing that credential is required. We offer a competitive compensation package with benefits for a credentialed lead teacher. The position is full-time.

Alternatively, it's possible to only pursue the Physical Education Teacher position for a 0.73FTE and we could outsource the Athletic Director position. If you prefer to only teach physical education without the Athletic Director component, please specify this in your letter of interest as part of your application.

In this position, we value experience leading children in developmental movement exercises, games, and general sports and coaching experience.

Please send your resume, cover letter and 3 recommendation letters (with contact information) to Chris Topham, Executive Director, ctopham@sebastopolcharter.org.
