About GrowMate™

GrowMate™ is an after-school Human Skills PBL program for children ages 6–17. Our current programs focus on learners ages 6–13.

Instead of traditional tutoring, students work in small groups on real-world projects. Through discussion, research, problem-solving, creation and presentation, they develop five HEART™ Human Core Competencies:

H — Human Collaboration E — Expression & Communication A — Action & Problem Solving

R — Resilience & Self-Management

T — Thinking & Creativity

The Role

We are looking for elementary teachers, recent BEd graduates, or BEd teacher candidates who enjoy working with children in a small-group, project-based environment.

As a GrowMate PBL Mentor, you will guide a small group of learners through projects using our GrowLoop™ framework:

Inquire → Design → Create → Revise → Present → Reflect

This is different from traditional tutoring. Your role is to ask good questions, guide discussion, support teamwork, and help children work through challenges rather than simply giving them the answers.

- Guide weekly project discussions and activities
- Encourage participation, teamwork and independent thinking
- Give constructive feedback to learners
- Communicate with the GrowMate team about learner progress

contribute to project and curriculum development

- Are a BC-certified teacher, recent BEd graduate, or current BEd teacher candidate

- Enjoy discussion-based and project-based learning
- Know how to guide children without simply giving them the answer
- Are patient, encouraging and comfortable facilitating small groups
- Are interested in helping children develop solid human skills in the AI era
- Are comfortable learning and using digital tools
