Turner Public School is seeking a 7-12 vocational agriculture educator for the 2023-24 school year.
Specifically, we are looking for a highly energetic team player focused on student success and academic achievement of each student.
This individual must possess the ability to develop and implement a quality program of study that prepares students for college and career readiness in agriculture and agriculture-related fields.
The ideal candidate will have Montana certification and a demonstrated knowledge in the delivery of class/lab instruction, Supervised Ag Education, and FFA to meet the needs of our students.
TPS has 53 students in grades K-12, with ten teachers and eight classified staff members.
Our district operates on a 4-day week and continuously makes Adequate Yearly Progress.
The district offers comprehensive educational offerings and multiple co/extra-curricular activities for all students.
We provide small class sizes and dual college credit in conjunction with the Montana University System.
Turner students have thrived with the return of our agricultural-education program and even have several teams qualified for state FFA for the first time in over ten years.
Most of our students live on large-scale production farms or ranches, and we have almost no behavioral issues.
Our ag-ed program is heavy with welding, construction, ag mechanics, and wood shop, but it also includes an intro to ag and animal science courses.
The district offers housing that is within walking distance of the school.
Turner provides teacher housing/utilities for the first contract year at *no cost* and only *$200 *monthly for housing/utilities every year after that.
Our teaching positions allow us to receive the Quality Educator Loan Assistance of up to $3,000, $4,000 & $5,000 over three years.
The district has a strong new teacher mentoring program as well.
In a small town like Turner, the things you do daily as an educator matter; you are truly making a difference instead of your work getting lost in the shuffle of a busier place.
The ability to have a positive impact on the life of each student is a reality here.
A successful teaching candidate is invested in our students and willing to commit to our school and community.
Please do not hesitate to pass this information along to interested students.
