Lead Teacher/Apprentice Teacher dynamic In our K-5 classrooms, we have two teachers who work together to ensure each of our scholars are receiving what we truly believe to be the best education for all. In the simplest of terms, the Lead Teacher leads, while the Apprentice Teacher (AT) shepherds. This means that while each teacher has his or her own role, they must work well together as a united front. While many ATs prefer this role long term, they are continuously mentored by their Lead and encouraged to grow into the Lead role at their own pace (sometimes in the same year). Duties and responsibilities include but are not limited to: Providing educational services to students, responsible for planning, developing, delivering, and implementing various educational programs, activities, lesson planning, assessments for a classical education curriculum in classroom settings in consultation with other school personnel and faculty. This is a wonderful opportunity for those interested in education or for those who love working with children.
