Teacher (Primer Leader) | Florida

About The Role

Primer Leaders are the heartbeat of a Primer campus. You take kids seriously, build deep relationships with families, and create a stable, joyful, consistent learning environment.

• You teach daily literacy lessons, provide instructional support as students work through an individualized digital math curriculum, and partner closely with math Content Teachers to drive individual progress for grades 3-8.
• You know where every student is in math and literacy: pacing, mastery, misconceptions.
• You comfortably use our school’s operations digital platform to monitor student progress and keep the day running smoothly.
• You run high-quality Pursuits, Primer’s interdisciplinary curriculum for applied learning.
