Elementary Teacher

Nestled between the Swan and Mission Mountains, Swan Valley Elementary School is the heart of a close-knit community with deep roots in Montana's rural history. Built in the 50s, our school has less than 40 students, allowing lots of one-on-one student/teacher time. Living in the valley makes outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, kayaking, hiking and snowmobiling easily accessible. The Swan Valley is often described as a mountain paradise... and it could be your home!
Currently, we're searching for a caring, committed multi-grade (3-5) Elementary Teacher for the 2023-2024 school year. Co-ed basketball and track coaching possibilities may be available.
Essential Functions Include:
1. Plan and develop a course of study suitable for a particular grade level following curriculum guidelines of District and State requirements.
2. Develop and present specific lesson plans, using a variety of means, including lectures, projects, group discussions, exhibits, field trips, audio-visual and library resources, computers, and the Internet.
3. Prepare assignments and tests for in-school preparation and homework. Monitor, assist, correct and grade student performances.
4. Conduct standardized tests in accordance with District Policies and Law.
5. Maintain order in the classroom and administer discipline when necessary to achieve proper behavior.
6. Keep records of academic performance, attendance, and social acclimation. Report on all aspects of student development for school records and parents, and conduct parent-teacher conferences.
7. Be a mandated reporter.
8. Comply with all Board policies, rules, regulations, and directives.
9. Participate in faculty meetings, educational conferences, professional training seminars, and workshops.
Minimum duties are listed; other functions may be required as given or assigned.

Many in our community graduated from Swan Valley Elementary School and some of their parents did as well. We believe it's a special place and we're looking for a special teacher to continue its traditions while introducing new and exciting ideas to our students.
If you're interested in living and working in a community known for looking out for their neighbors, where the Christmas Craft Fair includes home-baked desserts like no other, where everyone you run into at the post office knows you by name, our beautiful valley and its community may be a good fit for you.
