Business & Entrepreneurship Specialist Teacher (Gr. 6–9)
41 minutes ago
Location:
Pear Tree School, Vancouver, BC
Start:
August 2026 |
Type:
Full-time |
Salary:
$85,000-$95,000/year
Note: A graduate degree in education (M.Ed. or equivalent) is a non-negotiable requirement for this role.
The school & the mission
Pear Tree School exists to transform education so young people can live happy, fulfilling lives and become positive agents of change. We move beyond traditional schooling by integrating academic excellence, social-emotional growth, physical well-being, and ethical development into one cohesive approach – delivered through theme-based, inquiry-driven, hands-on learning.
We are expanding for and are hiring teachers who want to do the best work of their career in a school that takes educational craft seriously.
The role
This role supports our longer-term plan for a
Business & Entrepreneurship pathway
in Grades 10–12.
For 2026–27, The Business & Entrepreneurship Specialist May
- Teach across Grades 6/7 and 8/9, depending on class structure and enrollment, and
- Serve as homeroom teacher for one grade grouping, if the role is active at the Grades 6–9 level.
This role is most visible in themes like
Entrepreneurs
, where students are designing ideas, making decisions, and presenting their thinking. In other themes, it may play a lighter or supporting role.
What This Looks Like In Practice
Depending on the theme, the Business & Entrepreneurship specialist may:
- Help students turn ideas into clear, realistic plans
- Teach students how to weigh options, make decisions, and justify choices
- Support project planning, teamwork, and communication
- Help students understand basic ideas like cost, value, trade-offs, and feasibility in age-appropriate ways
The focus is not on "running a business," but on helping students think practically, communicate clearly, and understand the consequences of decisions.
Homeroom Responsibilities
If assigned homeroom, responsibilities are the same as other specialist teachers:
- Classroom culture and routines
- Student support and wellbeing
- Family communication
- Close collaboration with the other specialist teachers
Looking ahead
As Pear Tree expands into Grades 10–12, Business & Entrepreneurship becomes a more central specialist role. At that stage, the focus shifts toward more advanced projects and preparation for senior-level expectations. Participation at Grades 6–9 is program-dependent and may change over time.
Curriculum is provided
You are not expected to write a curriculum from scratch. We provide a comprehensive thematic curriculum (the Pear Tree Method). Your role is to bring it to life through strong instruction, well-run learning experiences, thoughtful differentiation, and a warm, structured classroom culture.
What You'll Do
- Run real projects: Structured, measurable, and well-managed (projects fail when they're vague)
- Build transferable skills: Presentation, writing, research, persuasion, iteration, reflection
- Assess with evidence: Clear criteria, exemplars, and artifacts that show progress
- Integrate with specialists: Co-plan so business learning connects meaningfully to STEM and humanities in each theme
- Homeroom leadership (as assigned): Routines, culture, student support, and primary parent partnership for the homeroom group
Who You Are
- Strong at designing and running real projects with clear outcomes
- Confident teaching business/financial literacy concepts in developmentally appropriate ways
- Coachable, reflective, team-first
- Comfortable holding boundaries so "entrepreneurship" doesn't become unstructured activity
Eligibility
You must be legally authorized to work in Canada for the 2026–27 school year and eligible for BC certification. We verify work authorization and certification before extending a final offer.
Qualifications
Required
- B.Ed or equivalent (non-negotiable)
- M.Ed. or equivalent (non-negotiable)
- Valid BC Teacher Certification (or eligibility + commitment to obtain by agreed deadline)
- 3+ years of middle years teaching experience
- Strong classroom management, communication, and organization
Preferred
- Evidence of running project-based learning with strong outcomes and assessment
- Business/entrepreneurship education experience (school-based or real-world)
- Experience with inquiry/project-based learning and/or progressive models
Training & expectations
We do not expect you to know our method on Day 1, but we do require a strong commitment to mastering it.
All new teachers complete Pear Tree Method (PTM) Certification during their first year. We invest in you through structured training, instructional coaching, and practical support – so you are equipped to execute the approach well.
What Success Looks Like (Year 1)
- By end of Term 1: Strong routines, warm-structured culture, and consistent evidence of learning.
- By end of Year 1: Confident execution of the Pear Tree Method, clear assessment evidence, and trusted parent partnership.
How To Apply
Submit your resume and cover letter (PDF) via Hiring Steps.
In your cover letter, answer these two questions briefly (2-3 paragraphs total is fine):
- Describe a time you adapted a provided curriculum to make it more engaging for your students.
- Tell us about critical feedback you received on your teaching – and what you did differently afterward.
