The Linn J4 School District is accepting applications for a 1.0 FTE 5-Year-Old Kindergarten Teacher at Traver Elementary School for the 2024-25 school year. We are so excited to meet the next member of our staff!
We are a small rural 4K-8 school and district located south of beautiful Lake Geneva. The school has been here since 1837 and started as a one-room schoolhouse. We have small class sizes (our biggest class is 13 kids!), so teachers are really able to work with students and get to know their learning styles. There is one teacher per grade level through grade 4 and small team of teachers at the middle school level, grades 5 through 8. Our kids are great and really try their best. Our families are awesome, too!
As a staff, we are working on building teacher clarity for students based on Hattie's work. We are learning about using student data effectively. We also have a Trauma Sensitive Schools (TSS) team who meets regularly to provide resources and professional development for the staff.
We are looking for a person with growth mindset--both with students and with self. The right person will be a team player, be curious and reflective, and have a desire to put students' needs first. Right next door is the 4-year-old Kindergarten. You'll work closely with our 4K teacher and also share an aide between 4K and 5K.
Candidates interested in applying also need to be able to be independent within their own scope of work. We offer mentoring to help for a smooth transition into the position as well as guidance throughout the year. We welcome both new and experienced teachers to apply.
Our school board adopted Amplify CKLA as our ELA curriculum beginning in 2021-22. Candidates must be able to attend trainings in August if they are not already trained in Amplify/Science of reading methods.
