Resource Teacher
Be the Teacher Who Makes Every Classroom Stronger
The Goddard School® located at 50 Seaboldt Way, Chester Springs, PA 19425 is looking for a dependable, flexible, and caring Resource Teacher to join our team!
If you enjoy working with different age groups, love the variety that comes with early childhood education, and are the kind of person teachers can count on, this could be the perfect role for you.
Our Resource Teachers are an important part of our school community. You'll have the opportunity to work in different classrooms, build relationships with children across the school, support teachers throughout the day, and step in wherever you're needed most. No two days are exactly alike—and that's what makes this role so rewarding.
What You'll Do:
As a Resource Teacher, you will:
- Support Lead and Assistant Teachers in providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging classroom environment
- Work with infants, toddlers, twos, preschool, and pre-K children depending on the needs of the school
- Build positive relationships with children across different age groups
- Step into classrooms to provide additional support during busy times, breaks, transitions, and staff absences
- Engage children through play, conversation, books, music, movement, sensory experiences, and age-appropriate activities
- Assist with daily routines including meals, diapering, toileting, nap, and transitions
- Help maintain clean, organized, and inviting classrooms
- Support teachers with classroom preparation, cleaning, and organization
- Follow classroom routines, curriculum, health and safety procedures, and state licensing requirements
- Communicate positively and professionally with children, families, and team members
- Be a dependable team member who is ready to jump in and help wherever needed
Why You'll Love Working With Us:
We believe great schools are built by people who are willing to support one another.
As a Resource Teacher, you'll get to know children and teachers throughout the school instead of being in the same classroom every day. You'll gain experience across multiple age groups, learn different classroom routines, and become an important part of our entire school community.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, works well with different personalities, and likes knowing that their support can make a real difference in a teacher's day.
