Desired:
Teacher for Canajoharie Sahaj School. Preferably someone who is able to stay for several terms. The perfect teacher will have a heart of gold, infinite patience, and a joy of teaching and learning. This teacher should be able to work with a variety of age levels, principally pre-school children and kindergarten, but also possibly several other grade levels (at the moment we have 1 st , 2 nd and 4 th graders). The current teacher has an assistant and is dividing the day among the grades, so that she is not generally teaching all levels at the same time.
We are looking for someone who is aware of or would be interested in learning about the various learning styles children have: visual, physical, musical, logical, interpersonal, etc… and who can spontaneously integrate different teaching methods. The ideal person would be able to blend traditional learning with creative exploration through learning games, arts, and nature.
Using Shri Mataji's advice on education, the combined wisdom of other Sahaj teachers and his or her own creativity, the ideal teacher will grow and change along with the little realized souls. This teacher should have a desire to achieve enlightened education and help fulfill Shri Mataji's vision for Her children.
The teacher should be an established yogi/yogini. Training or experience should include at least one of the following: experience as a teacher at another Sahaj school, courses in early childhood education or the Montessori method, a Bachelor's Degree with some related coursework, experience working with small groups of children in an educational setting (could include recreation programs that offer organized activities, such as summer camps). The teacher must have some experience teaching basic reading and math, either as teacher, teaching assistant, tutor, or homeschooling parent. Teacher credentials from any country are acceptable, as long as the teacher's English skills (particularly spoken) are good. The teacher must also enjoy working collectively.
If you are interested, please send an email to canajoharie_school@yahoo.com . Please also cc your local or national leader on this email. Also attach a resume or detailed description of your experience. The teacher will need to arrive at least a week before Birthday Puja (start of term) and be able to stay through the first week of July.
With love,
The Canajoharie School Committee
