About The Position

KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools seeks an inspiring, creative, and certified art teacher for our K-8 schools. The art teacher should have a clear vision for their subject that includes students engaging in culturally and developmentally appropriate, fun learning. This full-time position works closely with the existing specials department. These departments vary by school. As a specials teacher, they would likely see students across multiple grade levels and be responsible for creating a positive classroom environment, implementing curriculum, assessing students, collaborating with their team, building relationships with families, and other duties as assigned. Full teacher responsibilities are ultimately outlined by their principal. The specials schedule is subject to change and can vary from school to school. The specials team consists of up to seven teachers for the entire school, depending on the size of the school. Each specials teacher instructs students across multiple grade levels. Depending on the specials area subject, the teacher may travel to classrooms or have students transition to their own classroom space. Class size is typically ~26 students and typically a teacher will see a class about once per week in a given rotation.
