Associate Teacher Job Description
West End Day School (WEDS) is an independent, elementary school dedicated to offering a social-emotional approach to learning. Our mission centers on creating a safe haven for learning and fostering the development of resilience in children to build a strong foundation for their lifelong success. The foundation of our school highlights that all behavior has meaning, and how children feel impacts how they learn. At the core of our guiding principles is the notion that ‘relationships matter” and having positive relationships with one’s teachers and peers at school makes all the difference when it comes to learning. We are looking for candidates who share our relationship based, team-based approach, and who have an interest in understanding a child’s behavior to help them make meaningful changes.

This loving school does not tolerate discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, ethnic origin, age, socio-economic status, physical disability or sexual orientation in any form. This is true for all hiring practices, privileges, administration of our education policies, admissions policies, and other school-related programming.
