Hi! Im Bjorn the Unicorn!

Jobs

THEY FIRE, WE HIRE!

 WE HAVE IMMEDIATE NEED FOR THE FOLLOWING PART-TIME CONSULTING POSITIONS:

SCIENCE/ART TEACHERS
CERAMICS TEACHERS

ART TEACHERS FOR BABY CLASSES
ART TEACHERS

WORK FOR A GROWING LOCAL COMPANY AND SHARE YOUR TALENT IN YOUR COMMUNITY

We are expanding our wonderful and unique SMArt Class © (Science, Math, Art hybrid) programs into several schools and community centers and we need independent art / science teachers to provide their professional services and share their talents.

"Independent" implies that you have developed a professional curriculum that you can teach. Schools are located in Ventura County.


Initially, we are offering part-time consulting work to fit your schedule but we are growing and there is a lot of opportunity for work. Some classes are morning classes a few times per week, some are in our camps and some are available in the late afternoon at our studio, various school campuses and community centers in after school enrichment programs.

Our requirements may not be compared with out-of-state franchises as we are a "premium" art company.
Our standards are very high and we will not compromise on quality.
  We emphasize art as a focus for academic achievement in all the disciplines especially the sciences. Parents get it, kids love it!

If you believe that "those that can't do, teach"; try creating your own stimulating curriculum for a 10 week program and then teach art, science, math or ceramics to a classroom of 15 or more kids - that will quickly alter your perception.
Book smart and highly educated does not equate to being a good teacher so you will understand our need to observe you in action before we share your talents.


GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL OUR TEACHERS
Contactable professional references
Genuine, positive, calm, warm, patient personality with a strong outward focus.
Good teachers really have a wonderful blend of the above traits.
You love teaching and kids love you

As a professional, you provide your teaching services with energy, high integrity, high personal standards, you are reliable, dependable, have your own vehicle,  and you are healthy
You have high energy (mental and physical). If you are spaced-out, drag your feet in slow motion and don't smile too often, you will not make it as a kids art teacher with us. We listen to the kids as they are your ultimate critics and they are tough!
Our belief is that you can't change a bad attitude. So, if you have ever been guilty of having a bad attitude or being called a whiner, you need not apply.
State law requires us to perform background checks and health checks.

College degree with a science major is preferred. At least 1 year of teaching experience. ECE credits preferred but not required.
