Art Teacher

About This Role

Teaching step-by-step drawing and model building to elementary students in an after-school setting is the core of this part-time art instructor position. The role requires an instructor who can independently lead classes, maintain classroom control, and execute a structured curriculum.

Responsibilities

• Lead classes independently using the Young Rembrandts method
• Maintain consistent classroom control, pacing, and focus
• Manage behavior proactively (not reactively)
• Execute lessons efficiently within a fixed time block
• Arrive early, prepared, and ready to take command of the room
• Communicate professionally with school staff

Requirements

• Ability to hold attention and enforce expectations with elementary students
• Punctual and reliable — no missed classes
• Comfortable being the authority figure in the room
• Ability to follow a structured curriculum exactly as designed
• Prior experience leading groups of children (teaching, coaching, camp, etc.)
• Demonstrated ability to manage behavior and maintain order
• Strong verbal presence and confidence

Nice to have:

• Classroom teaching experience (not just assisting)
• Art or education background

Benefits

• Consistent schedule
• Holidays off
• Flexible schedule
• Training and development

Important Details

• Schedule: Weekday afternoons (after school), consistent weekly commitment required

Important Note

• This role prioritizes classroom leadership over artistic ability. If you are uncomfortable enforcing structure or correcting behavior, this is not a fit.
