Little Red Schoolhouse    Job Announcement – beginning September 1, 2010    EARLY CHILDHOOD MUSIC TEACHER, PART-TIME
Overview of Position   LREI seeks a part-time Early Childhood Music Teacher. The music teacher is responsible for his/her students and curriculum as well as collaborating with other music teachers. The music teacher teaches one class of Fours, one combination class of Fours and K’s, and two Kindergarten classes, each twice a week. In the early childhood music program, students should experience singing songs, age-appropriate movement and dance, basic music concepts, and playing Orff and various percussion instruments.  The music teacher directs four parent assemblies a year and collaborates with other music teachers to produce five all-school thematic assemblies throughout the school year.

Qualifications Sought  We seek a talented, creative music teacher who can inspire students through exploration, discovery and integration with our social studies based curriculum.   Because singing is central to our program, knowledge of early childhood American and multi-cultural songs and singing games is essential. Candidate’s pedagogy should be student-centered.  Piano and/or guitar skills are essential.  Familiarity with Kodaly, Orff, and Dalcroze methods is very helpful. The ability to work collaboratively and excellent communication skills are essential.  A Master’s degree in music and/or music education and successful experience as a music classroom teacher are preferred. Successful LREI teachers are life long learners who are reflective about their practice. 

 Overview of School    Founded in 1921 by Elisabeth Irwin (a contemporary and colleague of John Dewey, Caroline Pratt, and Lucy Sprague Mitchell), The Little Red School House, has been at the vanguard of pedagogical innovation since its founding.  LREI’s goal is to educate students to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners and to pursue academic excellence and individual achievement, in a context of respect for others and service to the community. We believe that learning should be active and experiential, with the school providing abundant opportunities for students to excel. We accept students with a range of abilities and talents who can take full advantage of a rich and demanding academic program in which each student is both challenged and supported.  We seek to create within the school a community built on understanding and respecting others. Thus, our student body traditionally reflects the racial and cultural diversity of our city, and our curriculum is built on inter-disciplinary studies to promote understanding of many cultures. While individual achievement is encouraged and rewarded, our program underscores the value of shared goals, friendship and cooperation in mastering difficult tasks.  The progressive ideals that in 1921 gave life and inspiration to the school — academic excellence and creativity, active learning and innovative teaching, respect for the individual and responsibility to the community-continue to guide the school today.  LREI is located in vibrant Greenwich Village and classes venture forth often to use the neighborhood and the city to provide rich learning experiences. 

Interested candidates should address a cover letter, updated resume and references to Namita Tolia, Lower School Principal.  Mail to:  LREI, 272 Sixth Avenue, New York, NY 10014, or
