Classroom Aide

Description:

An SCS Classroom Aide works closely with the classroom teacher to assist them and other SCS staff in fulfilling the purpose of the school, which is to equip students to follow Christ and impact the world for Him. SCS staff live out a compelling relationship with Jesus Christ, which is central to daily instruction and interactions with students, parents, and team members. SCS aides provide instructional, supervisory, and organizational support to students and classroom teachers. Aides are occasionally called upon to assist in other areas of the school as needed.

An SCS Classroom Aide should:

• Evidence a personal and growing relationship with Jesus Christ
• Have a passion for connecting students with Christ and His mission
• Be emotionally and spiritually mature and lead others to be the same
• Lead students to achieve excellent outcomes
• Demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited post-secondary institution (preferred, or a minimum of an associate degree) in education or a related field

Employment Diversity at Springfield Christian School:

Springfield Christian School affirmatively commits to recruiting and hiring of men and women who reflect diversity at all levels of the school. We believe that:

• God has redeemed for Himself, through the blood of His Son, people “from every tribe and language and people and nation” (Revelation 5:9);
• the gospel of Jesus Christ is good news to the poor, the brokenhearted, the captives, the blind, and the oppressed (Luke 4:18, NKJV); and
• unity in diversity is rooted in the character and nature of God and is a creational norm (Genesis 10-11).

The employment of staff at Springfield Christian School is clearly one of the most significant responsibilities of its leadership. To achieve our mission we engage in work that is strategically implemented by men and women whom we believe God has called to serve in the educational programs and services of the school. Therefore we will pursue people for employment who:

• are committed followers of Christ,
• reflect a lifestyle consistent with a Biblically integrated perspective as a Christian role model, and
• have the skills and professional qualifications to effectively carry out the responsibilities of the given position.
