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.

About the Position

The After School Woodworking Teacher leads an after school course that builds children’s knowledge of how to safely use a range of tools—including hammers, saws, sanding blocks, and hand-propelled drills—through the process of creating wood-based projects. Under the supervision of the After School Director and the Auxiliary Programs team, the Woodworking Teacher designs and implements age-appropriate curricula for two groups of 10–12 students each in Bank Street’s Wood Shop. This role is well suited to an educator who is excited by hands-on making, values process over product, and can teach tool safety and craft to young children in a progressive, child-centered setting.

Key Responsibilities

Curriculum and Instruction

  • In collaboration with the After School Director, design and document age-appropriate woodworking curricula for students ages 5–7 and 7–9
  • Teach the safe and effective use of woodworking tools, including hammers, saws, sanding blocks, and hand-propelled drills
  • Guide students through the process of planning and creating wood-based projects
  • Build relationships with students so they treat each other well and stay on task

Classroom Community and Management

  • 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

Shop Safety, Materials, and Dismissal

  • Prepare materials and set up and clean up the Wood Shop before and after each session
  • Maintain tools and equipment in safe working order and store them properly at the end of each session
  • 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

Qualifications

Required

  • High school diploma
  • Working knowledge of woodworking tools and safe shop practices
  • 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

Preferred

  • Bachelor’s degree
  • Experience teaching woodworking to the age groups indicated
  • Experience managing a classroom and teaching children (experience working with young children a plus)
  • Experience with progressive education
  • Prior experience working as part of the Bank Street community
