Associate Teacher

Overview

Founded in 2004, Bullis Charter School offers a collaborative, experiential learning environment that emphasizes individual student growth. As a model of educational innovation, BCS inspires children, faculty and staff to reach beyond themselves to achieve full potential. Using a global perspective to teach about the interconnectedness of communities and their environments, the BCS program nurtures mutual respect, civic responsibility and a lifelong love of learning.

We believe that risk-taking promotes growth, positive character is essential, change is necessary, learning has no boundaries, each person has unique capabilities, family and community influence development, the human spirit is nurtured by positive energy, a community is created through choices, personal and physical boundaries are best challenged in a supportive environment, freedom fosters innovation, ownership of decisions fosters commitment, and equal opportunity is necessary for all to reach full potential.

In a multi-faceted instructional role, Associate Teachers balance collaborative instructional support with independent classroom leadership. This position is designed for educators to provide high‑impact assistance to grade‑level teams while maintaining readiness to scale as lead instructors.

Under the mentorship of lead teachers, Associate Teachers refine pedagogical skills by leading data‑driven small‑group interventions, co‑planning inclusive curricula, facilitating formative assessments, and designing and delivering co‑curriculars.

At the direction of the School Principal, Associate Teachers pivot from a support capacity to the primary internal successor for statutory leaves (such as medical, military, or administrative leave). They become the Temporary Teacher of Record for 30 days or more, assuming full ownership of the classroom, lesson implementation, grading, and parent communication to ensure continuity and academic rigor.

Ultimately, this role provides excellent hands‑on classroom experience and a direct pipeline to a full lead Teacher position within one to two years.
