Fueling Brains & FB Academies·Calgary, Alberta
The Group Teacher is responsible for providing consistent care and support for children's growth in executive function skills across various learning environments. They collaborate with lead educators to facilitate lessons, document developmental progress, and maintain professional communication with families.
The Group Teacher is a core educator at Fueling Brains, responsible for ensuring every child experiences consistency, care, and connection throughout their day. Assigned to a specific age-based group — Jumping Junipers (2.8–4.2 yrs), Pondering Pines (3.5–4.11 yrs), or Roaring Redwoods (4.5–6 yrs) — the Group Teacher travels with their cohort across all learning environments (Left Brain, Right Brain, and Movement). They are the child’s daily constant — the person who knows their routines, interests, learning style, and family context best. Through meaningful engagement, observation, and collaboration with the homeroom (Lead) educators, the Group Teacher supports children’s growth in executive function skills such as working memory, self-regulation, and cognitive flexibility.
Child Development & Continuity Build secure, trusting relationships with every child in the assigned age group. Ensure continuity of care as the group transitions through different homerooms. Know each child’s individual needs — from comfort routines and emotional cues to learning strengths and developmental milestones. Adapt guidance, tone, and expectations to suit the developmental stage of the assigned age group.
Learning Support & Engagement Partner with Lead Teachers to co-facilitate lessons, circle times, and inquiry-based learning experiences. Foster independence, empathy, and collaboration through daily interactions. Model executive function-building behaviors such as focus, reflection, and persistence.

Share insights and daily notes with Lead Teachers to support planning and parent communication.
