Make a Real Impact—Every Single Day
At Northeast College Prep, we’re not just teaching—we’re shaping futures. We’re looking for an Elementary Teacher who believes every child can succeed, who thrives in a diverse community, and who’s ready to bring curiosity, care, and creativity into the classroom.
This isn’t a job for someone who wants to go through the motions. It’s for someone who wants to build relationships, close opportunity gaps, and be part of a school that lives its values every day.
What You’ll Do
Lead a class of 17–22 students through a full day of learning, exploration, and growth.
Build a classroom culture rooted in respect, high expectations, and joy.
Use your passion for teaching to plan and deliver effective, engaging lessons.
Differentiate instruction so that every student gets what they need to thrive.
Collaborate closely with support staff and fellow teachers—because we’re all in this together.
Use data to make smart decisions and drive student growth.
Communicate with families regularly—you’re a team.
Be present. At recess, during breakfast, and in the in-between moments where real relationships are built.
What We’re Looking For
We’re not just hiring a teacher—we’re looking for a teammate who:
Believes in every child’s potential, without exception.
Is excited by the idea of working in a mission-driven, community-rooted school.
Welcomes coaching, seeks feedback, and always looks for ways to grow.
Embraces Responsive Classroom and restorative practices—or is eager to learn.
Has a sense of humor, a big heart, and a deep belief in equity.
