In this position you will be teaching alongside local teachers at Marpha Foundation’s Rosehips Kindergarten, working to teach English with children between the ages of two and five. You will support local teachers in creating lesson plans and generating teaching materials that synthesize philosophies from Reggio Emilia, Waldorf, and Montessori approaches to foster an environment for experiential learning. You will also help lead baking and garden classes, curate free play stations, design field trips, and help with mealtimes, potty, and basic hygiene.
As a teaching fellow you will also have the opportunity to work with the young monks at Marpha’s Samtencholing Monastery.
