The Rudolf Steiner School of Ann Arbor (RSSAA) is seeking a dedicated and experienced part- or full-time Eurythmy Teacher to join our faculty and bring the art of movement to life for our students. The ideal candidate is passionate about Eurythmy and child development, works collaboratively, and brings joy, warmth, and professionalism to the classroom.
Our school is looking for someone who values authentic relationships, innovation, student success, professional development, and a commitment to diversity, equity & inclusion work.
With around 275 students, preschool through grade 12, RSSAA allows the full Waldorf pedagogy to unfold. We have a deeply experienced staff of Waldorf-trained faculty, working out of the principles of Waldorf education and anthroposophy, recognizing the spirituality of all individuals. We feel that the best education should help students not only become knowledgeable adults, but also secure, creative, and independent thinkers in later life. Our education strives to foster individuals who have confidence in themselves and are prepared to meet the challenges of our rapidly changing society. We endeavor to help students see connections between disciplines, synthesize and integrate information, and continue to love learning throughout their lives.
Waldorf education was created to offer a multi-sensory and holistic approach to education that strives to acknowledge the gifts and reduce the struggles of every individual. Our pedagogy works to meet the developmental needs of children as it supports children’s academic, social, and emotional health through critical thinking, creativity, arts, and movement. We believe children need less memorization and testing of facts, and instead, more connection and hands-on learning inspired by the truth, beauty, and wisdom of our world. Waldorf education was also founded on the principle that faculty should play an active role in governance and decision making.
