TEACHER - MONTESSORI PRIMARY/LOWER ELEMENTARY

Milwaukee Public Schools is actively recruiting Montessori credentialed and experienced candidates for teaching positions throughout the district. Current placements include: Craig Montessori (Grades 1-3)

A Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) teacher provides an instructional program for regular and special education students which is appropriate to their educational needs and developmental level. The educational program is offered in an equitable, multi-cultural setting and teaches all children to think deeply, critically and creatively. The teacher's work supports the MPS strategic plan.

Interested applicants should complete all sections of the application including the online submission of a current resume.

Interview teams may request candidates to submit additional items including, but not limited to, letters of recommendation, sample lesson plans, reference lists, and/or writing samples.

At the time of hire, the selected candidate will need to submit three (3) letters of recommendation dated within the last year and signed by the author, montessori credential documentation, and official transcripts conferring his/her undergraduate degree.

Eligible applicants must hold a full bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university and Montessori AMI or AMS credentialing for the posted grade band.

Additionally, Montessori teachers within MPS must hold a Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction license to teach the specific grade level. Unlicensed candidates are eligible to be hired as a permit teacher under a 1-year license with stipulations while they complete an DPI approved licensure program.

As of November 1, 2021, all MPS employees are required to be fully vaccinated. The health and safety of our staff and students is our number one priority.

All offers of employment are contingent on the candidate showing proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (in accordance with current CDC guidelines) to pass the pre-employment requirements. Individuals with medical issues or sincerely held religious beliefs that prevent them from getting the vaccine may request an accommodation from the vaccine requirement.

The teacher salary range starts at $52,827.70 and increases according to the set salary schedule based on education beyond the required bachelor's degree and previous years of fully-licensed K-12 teaching experience.
