We seek candidates with strong reasoning skills and with passionate interests in a variety of areas. We encourage applications from those who are open to critical, constructive feedback, have a genuine interest in their own intellectual, political, and emotional growth, care about the development of the whole child or youth, and are invested in serving the communities where they will teach. We invite applications from groups underrepresented in Washington's population of teachers.
