Philosophy and Role Overview
The Summer Assistant Teacher models joy, curiosity, and inclusion through respectful support of the exploration of ideas, materials, and relationships. They support the nurturing of children's growth through playful engagement with the natural world, community-building activities, and creative expression.
"We believe that every child is unique and capable, that each of them brings gifts to share and questions to explore. Our emergent program draws from the interests and theories of the children and is influenced by constructivist educators: teachers and thinkers like Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky and the educators of Reggio Emilia, Italy. In this tradition we believe that learning is an active process, and that learners who construct their own knowledge are most likely to remember their learning, make discoveries, and apply learning to new contexts. We are a community who believes in social constructivism, an understanding that human knowledge is often heightened and deepened by interaction with others."
The summer assistant teacher will plan to support their assigned class spaces, students, and colleagues by working to align with the practices of the OES lower school, fostering an appreciation for lifelong learning through the safe utilization of both indoor and outdoor classroom spaces.

Successful candidates are flexible, organized, open and constructive in communicating, and good-humored. They prioritize student and community safety, embrace feedback, and model the Summer at OES philosophy and core values.
