About Bank Street School for Children

A leader in progressive education for more than 100 years, the Bank Street School for Children provides students, from nursery through 8th grade, an education that engages their natural curiosity, nurtures critical thinking, and helps to develop a sense of community and social responsibility. Through a teaching approach that is fundamentally hands-on and child-centered, Bank Street students develop the courage and confidence to think independently, work collaboratively, understand themselves and others more deeply, and possess the compassion to make meaning of the world around them.

The After School Chess Teacher leads an after school course that meets children where they are and encourages a deepening understanding of chess strategy. Working with the After School Administrative Team and under the supervision of the Auxiliary Programs team, the Chess Teacher devises and documents an age-appropriate curriculum for two age groups and shares relevant information with supervisors as needed. This role is well suited to an educator who is energized by teaching strategy and critical thinking to elementary-aged students in a progressive, child-centered setting.

  • Participate as a member of a collaborative, cooperative After School program, sharing information and strategies to sustain a healthy classroom community
  • Use classroom management skills to run and support an energetic classroom of children while maintaining and reinforcing health and safety rules

Safety and Dismissal

  • Support students in moving safely through the hallways and in and out of the building, following building-wide health and safety regulations
  • Oversee the safe transfer of children to after school programming and dismissal to authorized adults

  • Knowledge of chess strategy and instruction
  • Willingness to collaborate and work as part of a team, as well as develop skills in working with individual children, small groups, and the whole class
  • Curiosity about and commitment to learning more about Bank Street’s approach to this type of learning
