Physical Education Teacher; Elementary School

Earn a $140,000 salary and join a team of master teachers at The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School, featured in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and on 60 minutes for its revolutionary teacher salaries and its outstanding results. TEP aims to achieve educational equity for students from traditionally underserved communities by utilizing world-class teachers, while re-imagining the teaching profession as a place in which teachers prioritize their own growth - as pedagogical experts, intellectual seekers, and community leaders.

About the Role

TEP is deeply committed to Physical Education, evidenced by the fact that TEP students receive one full period of PE every single day, across every single grade. As one of the three pillars of our program (Academics, Arts, and Athletics), TEP treats PE as a full-fledged academic subject, and not as an elective meant to supplement.

In this role, you will teach a daily 45-minute PE period to each of the five K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th grade classes. You will also supervise unstructured play as well as structured activities during recess, ensuring that students are safe but active on the road to developing the habits that will lead to life-long health.

• Deeply aligned to TEP’s mission of providing a world-class education to historically under-resourced student communities
