Harwinton and Burlington are serene townships nestled amidst state forests and parks bordering the Farmington Valley to the south and the Litchfield Hills to the north. The towns share a border with Farmington, Avon, Bristol to the South/West and Litchfield and Torrington to the North.
Despite their quiet country feel, the towns are within easy driving access to the Hartford region. We look forward to receiving your candidacy and we welcome a diverse candidate pool!
Position: Elementary Instrumental Music (Grade 4)
Location: Harwinton Consolidated School and Lake Garda School

We are seeking a dynamic instrumental music teacher who fosters a love of music, creativity and risk-taking in students. The successful candidate should have strong communication and collaboration skills to work closely with colleagues and leadership across both elementary schools.

The position requires: thoughtful, expansive recruitment of beginning band students, creation and implementation of a pull-out lesson schedule, conducting a weekly band rehearsal in each school and facilitating, organizing and running daytime and evening concerts and events, including Region 10's spring band festival, the Big Band Bash. Additional requirements include participation in all district, building and department level meetings and professional development activities as a valued member of our learning community. RSD 10 has a professional learning calendar that supports both building and district-wide opportunities for departmental collaboration and this includes the Visual and Performing Arts, so the successful candidate will be a member of a well-established Professional Learning Community.
