About the Associate Teacher Program:
Associate Teachers are essential members of the Convent & Stuart Hall
community. They not only form a special bond with their lead teacher,
but also participate in all school activities as full faculty members.
Their energy, enthusiasm and new ideas are greatly valued at our
schools.
The primary purpose of the Associate Teacher Program is
to support our lead teachers and students. In addition, the program
provides a learning opportunity for men and women interested in becoming
educators.
The Associate Teacher program is a one to three year
program that familiarizes the associate with theoretical and practical
aspects of classroom teaching. Associate Teachers are assigned to a
grade and section each fall and are partnered with a lead teacher who
monitors his/her learning and performance. Associate Teachers are placed
in grades K - 4.
Under the guidance of the lead teacher and
through meetings and workshops designed specifically for our associate,
important skill development includes:
- building relationships with students
- observing, assessing and supervising students
- previewing and selecting curricular materials
- developing appropriate and successful teaching methods
- planning and implementing lessons
- managing students and classrooms
- conferencing and writing reports
- job searching and portfolio/resume development
Associate
Teachers are expected to attend faculty meetings and periodic
pedagogical workshops given on campus. They are also encouraged to take
advantage of off campus opportunities for professional growth. We begin
accepting applications in February for the next academic year.
Candidates are invited for an interview in March or April. Hiring is
usually completed by May.
Yearly contracts for all new Associate
Teachers begin at the end of August. A new teachers' orientation will be
