Art Teacher (K-12) - Koyuk
Bering
Strait School District has an opening for an Art Teacher (K-12) for the 2012-13 school year in the village of Koyuk. We are beginning to do
interviews by Skype, video conference and other means. This position is
flexible in certification, but would require certification and skill in
the traditional "shop" areas of instruction.
We are a standards-based and
data-driven district, and require progressive, flexible teachers who are
supportive of a Response to Intervention (Rti) approach to
instruction, and willing to implement related strategies.
Being
comfortable using technology to track student progress, and to prepare
documentation would be a significant advantage. BSSD utilizes a
comprehensive web database for tracking student progress called DART,
technology is used for most day-to-day tasks. The district has an
employee purchase program for computers, and an excellent technology
infrastructure. All classrooms are wirelessly connected to the Internet.
Our
district offers very competitive salaries, many strong opportunities
for staff development, and an innovative professional climate. When it
comes to unique living and work experiences, we have some of the best.
Check our website for details about our district, as well as video clips
of our villages, and even a forum for posting questions.
