We are looking for a few full time or part time Instructional Assistants (IAs) who can bring enthusiasm and creativity to working one on one with middle and high school age students. The ideal candidates are positive, dynamic individuals that will enjoy building resilience in students, and be able to bring a deep sense of compassion and joy to working with 6th to 12th grade students.
We engage our students with a holistic approach to education through academics, social/emotional learning, service projects, recreational activities, farming, and gardening. We are committed to a learning model rooted in milieu therapy and nurturing authentic relationships between students, caregivers, staff, volunteers, and community members. We support therapeutic and restorative practices, self-reflection, clear and empathic communication, personal resilience, and taking care. We believe in honoring our students for who they are, recognizing individual strengths and nurturing potential, and that students have widely varying skills, abilities, and interests and learn in many different ways.
