Job Description:

Teach Away is looking for an Elementary teacher to teach 1st Grade at CASA Academy.

CASA Academy provides low-income students with the early academic foundation and character skills necessary to graduate from college and succeed in life. At CASA we are not just a school, but a movement to raise the bar for education in Phoenix.

Unique benefits of working at CASA Academy:

CASA Academy is a fun and joyful learning environment. We have a supportive and collaborative team with a strong, positive staff culture. We enjoy potlucks and holiday parties as a team and provide surprise gifts and treats to our staff throughout the year! We care about our staff both professionally and personally.
We pride ourselves on our ability to provide our staff with excellent observations and coaching. One-on-one coaching occurs every week and the staff has a school-wide professional development each Thursday. We also offer three weeks of summer professional development and two days of all-day professional development for staff throughout the year.
We offer a comprehensive benefits package in which we cover 80% of the medical, dental, and vision costs. You will also have the option to contribute to a voluntary 403(b) plan and enroll in short-term disability insurance.
In the 2022-23 school year, we will be piloting a Wellness Program where each staff member will receive two paid wellness days off per year, in addition to sick leave. These days will be scheduled at the beginning of the school year and are given to all staff to promote work-life balance. Additionally, teachers receive one paid half day off per quarter, also to promote work-life balance.
