ASSISTANT ROOTS FACILITATOR
Assistant Facilitator for Learners aged 3-8
Cottonwood Agile Learning Center is looking for a creative, energetic person to support our lead Roots Facilitators.
The ideal candidate is an excellent communicator, detail-oriented and demonstrates the intuition needed to observe a situation then jump in when support is needed.
Agile Learning Facilitators act as models, space-holders, and mentors of self-directed learning and intentional culture creation. Above all, facilitators need to be grounded in the perspective of trusting children and committed to fostering curiosity and treating every experience as an adventure.
WORK AT COTTONWOOD WILL FILL YOU UP IF:
You are a passionate, curious, and joyful person with a variety of interests and abilities that you would enjoy sharing with young people through offerings made at our Set-the-Week meeting and through spontaneous, self-organized activities.
You have experience cultivating authentic, respectful, and partnership-based relationships with people of all ages.
You are, yourself, self-directed: You don’t need to be told what to do in order to be productive in your role; you can notice what needs to be done and take action, while communicating effectively with team members along the way.
If these ideas resonate with you, let’s talk!
Facilitation responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Support Lead Facilitators as needed.
Support students as they engage with the cycle of learning (intention, creation, reflection, and sharing)
Recognize and act on daily opportunities to foster a learner’s curiosity into a deeper investigation (This should be second nature to you)
Use the community as your classroom. When you know of an art show, a cultural event, or the fact that baby owls are being born in the courthouse tree, you make it an offering accessible to learners
Practice the art of “maximum support with minimal interference” in the context of working with young people
Ability to multitask in fast-paced, dynamic learning environments
Act as host in all aspects of the school: connecting learners, welcoming volunteers, introducing learners to the community, and facilitating parent involvement with the school
