GA Physical Education Teacher

OUR MISSION

Movement Schools is a growing network of free, public charter schools. We exist to love and value scholars and communities by leading a movement of excellence in education. In partnership with our families, we equip our scholars with the tools to close generational gaps through self‑efficacy, access to world‑class instruction and financial education.

We are seeking a passionate, energetic, and mission‑aligned K‑5 Health & Physical Education Teacher to join our Georgia school community.

As a K‑5 Health & PE Teacher, you will design and lead high‑quality, standards‑aligned instruction that engages every elementary scholar, regardless of athletic background. You’ll create an inclusive, structured, and joyful environment where K‑5 scholars develop foundational motor skills, health knowledge, social‑emotional skills, and a love for movement. When not in session with scholars, you will support school‑wide operations to keep our campus running smoothly.

• Deliver age‑appropriate health education content as part of Georgia’s combined Health & PE program
• Create a structured, safe, and inclusive environment where every scholar can participate and grow
• Embed character development, teamwork, leadership, and perseverance into daily lessons
• Assess scholar growth using fitness benchmarks, skill rubrics, and other formative tools
• Differentiate instruction to support scholars with diverse abilities, including those with IEPs and 504 plans
• Maintain equipment, facilities and safety protocols in alignment with school and state standards
• Support school‑wide culture, arrival/dismissal duties, transitions, and family engagement events
• Participate in coaching cycles, professional development, and grade‑level planning
• Support school‑wide operations during non‑instructional blocks — including arrival and dismissal duties, lunch and recess coverage, hallway transitions, family engagement events, and other operational needs as assigned
• Build strong relationships with scholars, families, and staff

We’re looking for a passionate, creative, and mission‑aligned educator who brings their content area to life for every scholar.

• Believe in the potential of every scholar and are committed to equity
• Bring energy, creativity, and joy to your classroom every day
• Are reliable, organized, and able to manage multiple priorities
