At PS1, we look for educators and staff who believe in the power of community and the joy of learning. The ideal candidate is collaborative, flexible, and creative; someone who honors each child as an individual while inspiring curiosity, confidence, and growth.
We seek teachers who bring authenticity, empathy, and a deep commitment to pluralism, cultivating classrooms where every voice is heard and every student feels known and valued. PS1 educators are reflective practitioners who embrace child-centered learning, communicate with warmth and clarity, model respect, and approach challenges with curiosity and optimism. They are team players who innovate, adapt, and build strong partnerships with students, families, and colleagues.
Together, these qualities help create a vibrant, joyful school where learning is purposeful, relationships are central, and children thrive.
