Summary
The Chicken Coop at the Farm School is a full-time farm-based school for local children in 7th and 8th grades in North Orange, MA. We are one component of The Farm School, which was founded in 1987 with the mission of connecting people to the land. We are a one-room school of 12-15 students. The Chicken Coop curriculum covers a standard range of academic subjects and in addition, students regularly get to work with farmers on seasonal projects right at school. In lieu of a letter-based grading system, we use biannual written evaluations and student presentations of work. The curriculum has room for students to discover and explore their personal interests within each topic. Most importantly, the teachers get to know their students and have time to be joyful with them.
We focus on community, academic curiosity, and connection to the land. This is a special opportunity for an experienced teacher who is excited to learn about our unique program and to bring their own interests and expertise. This role additionally functions as a program facilitator and administrator. In addition to being a part of our one-room school, teachers at the Coop are a part of the larger, vibrant community of the Farm School. This is a job like no other! We are looking for a teacher who is experienced with non-traditional school environments and has an interest in incorporating the farm into their work. The key requirement is that you find joy, fulfillment and purpose when you work with youth! Learn more at www.farmschool.org/education
