• Design and deliver project-based enrichment curriculum tailored to student cohorts across three age bands: lower elementary, intermediate/upper elementary, and middle/upper school.
• Tailor instructional approaches to diverse learning styles and interests, while prioritizing safety, self-management, and stewardship of shared work spaces - including classrooms and our sunlit, window-lined Innovation Lab.
• Champion student growth over perfection and bring genuine personal alignment with Acera's mission and core values to the work.

• Prior teaching experience is highly desired, but for the right candidate, teaching mentoring may be made available in lieu of substantial prior teaching experience.
• Great skills in specialist areas and relevant tool use.
• Highly organized and able to steward work spaces with care, to leave a ready-to-go, predictable space for others.
• Experience setting norms for safety.
• Flexible and adaptable for changes and surprises; able to cope with a vibrant and busy environment.
• A genuine commitment to each students' growth, happiness and authentic engagement.
• Collaborative working style with colleagues and students alike
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills

What began with a small group of students in 2010 has evolved into a thriving K-10 community of nearly 150 students. As our student body grows, we remain committed to offering what makes Acera unique, like student voice and choice, individual learning plans for every child, small math classes that are organized based on ability rather than age, mentor-supported passion projects, and electives in lab science, social science, art, engineering and woodshop.

At Acera, we believe that school should catalyze students' passions, free their potential, and safeguard their innate curiosity and love of learning. Our faculty are "teacherpreneurs" empowered to engage students deeply in themes and topics that matter to them. We develop thinkers and innovators who will be able to make positive change in our world. Learn more raschool.org/how-we-teach.
