Join Our Team

At WHEELS, we combine strong relationships, ambitious instruction, and meaningful student work. From PreK–12 Crew structures to project-based learning, rich student discourse, and weekly professional learning, WHEELS is a place for educators who want to make a lasting impact and keep getting better.

We have created a school culture that ensures high expectations for adults and students, fosters a respectful and supportive learning community, develops our professional craft as educators, and actively engages families as partners in the life of the school. Our school culture is grounded by our membership in EL Education, a national education organization that values mastery of knowledge and skills, character education, and high-quality student work.

WHEELS provides teachers constant opportunities to learn with weekly professional development facilitated in grade-levels or departments and grade-level team meetings during the week. Teachers have access to high-quality professional development from EL Education, opportunities to research and travel over the summer with Fund For Teachers. Further, by joining WHEELS, you will be surrounded by National Board Certified Teachers, Math For America fellows, and several teachers pursuing or having achieved advanced degrees in their craft.

We are looking for applicants that have:

• A mindset that takes responsibility for student results.

• A deep respect for the teaching profession and its complexity, and a strong desire to constantly improve and extend their teaching practice in collaboration with others.

• High expectations for student engagement and academic achievement.

• The ability to build relational trust with, students, families, teachers, and school leaders.

• The willingness to reflect upon daily realities with humility and from multiple perspectives.

• Our Lower Grades (PreK-5) are Dual Language, so applicants for those grade levels should be completely fluent in Spanish and English.

If you are excited by strong relationships, ambitious instruction, meaningful student work, and ongoing professional learning, we would love to hear from you.
