Where the Jobs Are
|
Designed especially for Reggio Emilia inspired settings, the NAREA JOBS SITE aims to support those seeking employment as well as those searching for job applicants. Through the NAREA JOBS SITE, we hope that positive, new connections will be established throughout our Reggio Emilia inspired community in North America. Here's an example of what you will find on our page:
"The successful candidate will embody the qualities of progressive education and have experience supervising teaching staff and/or administering a preschool program...The Director must support the school's educational vision, values and the study of the Reggio Emilia approach."
Visit the NAREA JOBS SITE to learn about job openings in your area or to submit a job posting. New jobs are added frequently, so check back often!
