Grammar Art Teacher

Mission Live Oak Classical School strives to equip students to love God with all their hearts, souls, and minds. We draw on the classical tools of learning to prepare students to reason clearly, communicate effectively, and act responsibly in the world - all for the glory of God.

Overview The Grammar art teacher should possess a knowledge and understanding of art history, including classical artists and the historical context in which artists did their work. He or she should have a broad understanding of art as it relates to classical education, Christianity, and guiding children to become virtuous people. In order to promote a more holistic education and connect learning across content areas, the grammar art teacher should collaborate with core teachers and other specials teachers about curriculum, classroom management, behavior, and discipline.

Strong classroom management skills and the ability to differentiate instruction and discipline according to grade level and development of the child is essential.
