Primary (K-2) Grade Homeroom Teacher 

Sycamore Community School is seeking a primary grade teacher (K-2) to join our small, but growing, private-school learning community located in downtown Santa Monica. We are a small, independent school established by a group of educators who came together around a common set of principles about what school should be for students and families. We are currently serving children in kindergarten through 8th grade. We enjoy small class sizes taught by highly skilled and passionate instructors.

Sycamore is a responsive-classroom school that places equal emphasis on strong academics, physical, and social-emotional learning. Our teachers and staff model a growth mindset while promoting the values of compassion, kindness, resilience, creativity, and independence. Our curriculum includes Fundations supporting Lucy Calkin’s Readers and Writers Workshop, Eureka mathematics, Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI), and Teacher Curriculum for Social Studies. 

The successful candidate will maintain a positive learning environment in their classroom and plan interactive and engaging lessons. They should be able to collaborate and communicate effectively with students, parents, administration, and if applicable outside professionals. Sycamore Community School is looking for a dynamic and flexible individual who will be adaptable to a growing and innovative work environment.
