Kindergarten Teacher

Dummerston School is a PreK-8 community school just north of Brattleboro, VT with approximately 155 students. All students have daily opportunities to learn and play outside on our 20-acre campus that includes a forest trail, outdoor classrooms, student-tended gardens, soccer and baseball fields, and a variety of play structures. We implement a Multi-Layered System of Support where all students engage in both enriching core academic, social, and emotional instruction, as well as necessary interventions based on their unique profile as learners. To support our students' social, emotional, and academic growth and sense of connection to self and others, we implement the Developmental Designs Framework in all grades, PreK-8.

This framework provides common language, experiences, and opportunities that support us in flourishing as learners and as active and engaged members of a diverse community. These experiences include the student-led development of a schoolwide social contract each September, daily Morning Meetings, weekly community-based events, such as All-School Meetings and Buddy Classroom time, and student-led conferences. Through this work, we seek to support students in understanding themselves as learners and in shaping their unique pathway toward success. We are seeking a creative, dynamic and positive individual to join us in this work as a full-time Kindergarten Teacher beginning in the 2024-2025 school year.
