SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS: EARLY CHILDHOOD

Hawken School is committed to doing school differently and better. We seek to create an inclusive and accepting community where adults are empowered to design educational experiences for students that are deep and learner-centered. Hawken School seeks culturally competent teachers, administrators, and staff members who are committed to equity and social justice, who are comfortable taking risks, and who embrace a growth mindset. We are constantly looking for new ways to inspire student curiosity and agency while remaining dedicated to nurturing compassion and kindness in our students.

We are actively seeking candidates for substitute teaching roles in our Early Childhood classrooms, on an as-needed basis. Innovative individuals that are committed to teaching the whole child are encouraged to apply. Candidates should be eager to work in a collaborative team-based environment with thoughtful individuals that are constantly looking for new ways to inspire student curiosity.
