Summer Prog RTI​/Wellness Teacher

PEF is looking for experienced educators who have a passion for supporting students! An RTI/Wellness Teacher for PEF’s Summer Enrichment Program will work closely with our Site Coordinator to best meet the learning, behavior, wellness, and social needs of each student.

Our 5-week morning program primarily serves elementary and middle school students, though RTI/Wellness Teachers will also support our smaller number of high-school Summer Youth Leader volunteers. PEF Summer 2026 runs from June 15 - July 16, 2026, Monday - Thursday. Successful RTI/Wellness Teacher candidates must be available for the entire program. Our program will be hosted at select PUSD school campuses (specific sites TBD).

• Employment is dependent upon verification and timely completion, before the program starts, of all mandated payroll tax (W-4, DE4) and employment eligibility (I-9) forms, a background check, and other payroll onboarding tasks that may be assigned.
• Teachers must commit to 5 working hours per day, Monday through Thursday mornings, for the entire 5-week program from June 15 to July 16, 2026. Exact times TBD.
• This is a temporary, part-time position that does not include paid time off or benefits.

Specific responsibilities will vary based on the needs of each site, as assigned by the Site Coordinator and PEF Program Manager, but may include:

• Push-in and pull-out support to facilitate classroom instruction and individual student well-being, such as by using aResponse to Intervention (RTI) framework.
• Assisting teachers, site coordinators, and other staff to identify and address student needs.
