Teacher; K-4

Teacher (K-4) 2026-27 (Education)

We are committed to a mastery-based, student-centered approach that empowers every learner to excel academically and thrive personally. We believe that when education is tailored to a student’s unique strengths, there is no limit to what they can achieve. Our vision is to cultivate an inclusive, thoughtfully designed environment where students flourish academically, socially, and emotionally. By intentionally breaking down the systemic barriers found in traditional schooling, we create a space where success is accessible to all.

While we are a public school open to all Nashville students, we are deeply dedicated to being a true neighborhood pillar. Our primary focus is serving the students and families within the Pearl-Cohn and Whites Creek Clusters.

We are seeking a passionate General Education Teacher to join our team for Year 2! In this role, you will deliver high-quality instruction within a mastery-based framework using the Morningside Model of Generative Instruction (MMGI). Recognizing that MMGI may be new to most educators, we provide robust and ongoing professional development to ensure your success in implementing this innovative approach.
