Elementary Teacher

We are looking for a licensed teacher who is open to learning and applying a unique, but science-based teaching method. This will be a small-classroom environment with low ratios so that teachers can meet each student where they are at in their learning journey.

Company Culture Matters to Us

Bumblebee Academy has an amazing group of people who work together as a team to support our learners and each other. Inclusion, quality and respect are not just things we preach to our learners.

These three core values are what form our company culture for what we like to call our BA family. We understand that to bring out the best in our learners, we must bring out the best in the adults who serve them.

Inclusion

We work hard to maintain an inclusive environment, not just for our learners, but also for our educators. BA welcomes team members of all backgrounds, strengths, and level of experience. We promote both acceptance and celebration of everyone’s abilities and differences! By encouraging every team member to be their own authentic self, we hope they feel empowered to express their passion and bring their talents to life in our work environment.

Quality

We value honesty, hard work, creativity and compassion. Our overall culture promotes the guidance, personal development, and growth of our team members. We offer several opportunities for continued education and specialized training so that our team has the in-classroom support they need to best support our learners and their families.

Respect

Children and adults alike deserve to be treated with respect to feel valued and safe. BA understand the challenges educators face and know that happy and appreciated people have the most to give to their learners.

We believe family should always come first. BA strives to provide a positive and healthy work environment for all team members by offering flexibility and promoting work-life balance. The respect and dignity that we share for our team members is what will empower them to reach their highest potential.

If you share these same values and priorities and have a desire to be part of this growing institution, you could be a great fit! When you join our team of educated and talented professionals, you become a part of our family.

Our Philosophy

For years, there has been a myth that because of its anatomical size, the laws of physics prove a bumblebee should not be able to fly. However, in recent years it has been documented that bumblebees are able to successfully fly by moving their wings from front to back rather than up and down, like other flying insects.

We find this fact to be a great analogy for the success of people as well. Everyone’s path may look different, but regardless of our limitations, we all have the potential to succeed...even if we do it our own way.

Bumblebee Academy’s Foundations Program was developed after recognizing a need in our community. The academy will operate as a center for learning for elementary aged learners who need to catch up and get ahead. Our team possesses an authentic passion for seeing children and adults reach their potential while feeling safe, being treated with respect, and building relationships.

By offering a small, inclusive classroom learning environment, our staff is able to provide learners with the extra attention and support that will help them achieve their individual and foundational skills, including transitioning into a traditional learning environment. The philosophy of our learning center is centered around three ideas: inclusion, respect and quality.

What is your teaching method?

The science behind Applied Behavior Analysis led us to an evidence-based teaching method developed by behavior analysts, that perfectly aligns with our mission and goals for the academy. We will be implementing the Morningside Model of Generative Instruction (MMGI). This is a non-traditional teaching method that supports children needing to catch up or get ahead academically.

What grade levels will be offered in the Foundations Program?

Learners at elementary skill level are welcome.

What is the size of the learning center?

We will have classrooms with an average of 8-10 students per classroom. The learner to staff ratio will be no more than 10:1 and as low as 6:1.
