Are you passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of elementary and middle school students? Do you believe in the power of social emotional learning to unlock academic success and personal growth? arenaflex is seeking a dedicated and experienced Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Intervention Teacher to join our dynamic educational team in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area.
At arenaflex, we understand that academic achievement goes far beyond traditional classroom instruction. For too many students, social emotional challenges create barriers that prevent them from reaching their full potential. That's where you come in. As an SEL Intervention Teacher with arenaflex, you will have the unique opportunity to help young learners in grades K-8 develop the critical social emotional skills they need to thrive both in school and in life.
This is a very part-time position offering flexible scheduling with approximately 4 hours per week during regular school hours, with Fridays being the preferred day. We have 5 school locations throughout the Chattanooga metropolitan area, giving you the option to choose a location that best fits your schedule and preferences. Whether you are a newly certified teacher looking to gain valuable experience, an experienced educator seeking a flexible addition to your career, or a retired teacher wanting to stay connected to the profession, arenaflex welcomes educators from all backgrounds to join our mission.

With over four decades of excellence in education, we specialize in serving at-risk youth and students who are struggling academically, socially, or emotionally.

Your primary responsibility will be to implement our prescribed SEL curriculum using the gradual release model of instruction—a proven pedagogical approach that moves students from teacher-guided learning to independent practice. This method ensures that students not only learn essential social emotional skills but also internalize and apply them in real-world situations.
