Priority Listing] Learning Support Coordinator for 26-27

ABOUT THE ROLE

Berkeley Rose Waldorf School is seeking a collaborative, knowledgeable, and resourceful Learning Support Coordinator to strengthen our ability to support students with diverse learning profiles from Preschool through Grade 8.

This is a full-time, 40-hour-per-week position. Applicants seeking a 0.75 FTE position may also be considered.

Working in partnership with teachers, families, administrators, and outside professionals, the Learning Support Coordinator will coordinate Individual Learning Plans, provide classroom consultation, offer targeted small-group instruction, and help teachers identify practical strategies and accommodations that support students within the classroom community.

At Berkeley Rose, we believe children flourish when they are deeply known, thoughtfully supported, and surrounded by caring adults working together on their behalf. Our goal is not to create a separate system around children who learn differently, but to help students remain meaningfully included in the life, relationships, and learning of their classrooms whenever Berkeley Rose can appropriately meet their needs.

The Learning Support Coordinator will bring knowledge and experience to this work while also listening carefully, learning about our school, and helping strengthen the Learning Support Program in partnership with faculty and school leadership.

Full time position. Benefits offered include health insurance (medical, vision, dental), tuition remission, mentoring and professional development opportunities. Applicants seeking a 0.75 FTE position will also be considered.

Salary: $70,000–$85,000 annually for a full-time position, depending upon experience and qualifications

An Urban School With Heart:
Berkeley Rose Waldorf School is a vibrant, metropolitan school, located in a beautiful neighborhood in Oakland, California, with access to the greater San Francisco Bay Area and stunning nature in every direction. Our families and faculty are innovative and passionate about providing a holistic education for children. Founded in 2009, our school serves 155 students from Preschool through 8th Grade, along with parent-child classes and parent education events for the local community.

We welcome students, families, faculty, and staff of all races, ethnicities, countries of origin, cultural, religious, ideological and political affiliations, socio-economic backgrounds, gender identity, sexual orientation and any other articulation of human identity.

We are actively engaged in developing our work with Learning Support, Social Emotional Learning and DEI. The Berkeley Rose faculty strives to model a lifelong love of learning, gratitude and to support the individual journey of every child.
