Elementary Teacher – K-3rd Grade - 2026/2027 School Year

Kindergarten through 2nd grade classrooms are self-contained, while in most of our schools, teachers in grades 3–6 specialize by subject. Across every elementary classroom, Mastery teachers are committed to closing the literacy gap by providing students with access to rigorous, culturally relevant texts and grade-level learning.

As a K–2 teacher, you will give students the strongest possible foundation for future success. Through 135 minutes of daily literacy instruction—including whole-group and small-group learning—you will bring our high-quality Foundations and Amplify CKLA curricula to life, building the foundational reading and writing skills students need to thrive.
