Summer Teaching Fellowship

Company Description

Pando Little School is more than just a preschool. We are a community of individuals dedicated to excellence in early childhood education. Our primary work is with the children and families enrolled in our full-time preschool program where we tinker, play, explore, and love. In addition to our work in the classroom, we collaborate with educators, organizations, elementary schools, and individuals across the state who care deeply about improving early childhood education in New Mexico.

Pando's philosophy is simple: Children are valued community members, capable of constructing their own understanding of the world.

Our classroom is a collaborative, interdisciplinary space that empowers children to engage their imagination, draw meaning from their own experiences, and participate in their community. Our school's child-led curriculum generates opportunities for children to tinker, express themselves, and research their interests in a project-based environment.

Job Description

Pando Little School is seeking current and aspiring educators for our summer teaching fellowship. Fellows will co-create and facilitate a dynamic preschool curriculum while receiving expert mentorship from Pando educators.

As a teaching fellow, you will
    •    Work directly with children ages 2.5 to 5.
    •    Create a pedagogical portfolio to showcase your teaching accomplishments.
    •    Use reflective practices to deepen your work with children, families, and colleagues.
    •    Gain experience with the Reggio Emilia approach.
    •    Learn about anti-bias curriculum in the preschool setting.
    •    Enjoy a unique experience at a progressive school.

The 5 week fellowship includes a week of orientation, 4 weeks working with children, and supportive mentorship throughout. Fellows will be on a three person teaching team with just 12 children, so the fellowship is a great opportunity to tinker with curriculum and pedagogy. Our goal is for fellows to come away from the experience invigorated and brimming with ideas.
