GRASSLANDS is hiring

ABOUT THE POSITION: TheColony Educational Assistant, in consultation with the Colony Principal and the Clearview Colony Teacher, will assist with the design of lesson plans for kindergarten to grade three students. Based on these lesson plans, the Colony EA will create student learning activities and will manage the classroom environment to facilitate student success.

The broader scope of this role is best suited to a candidate who has education-related training and experience, works collaboratively while demonstrating initiative and independence, and is organized, flexible,



and adaptable to the challenges and changes that may arise throughout the day.

ABOUT THE SCHOOL: Clearview Colony School is one of seven colony schools in our Grasslands community. This location is in the County of Newell and is approximately 45 minutes outside of Brooks Alberta. These schools follow their own colony school calendar that aligns with community observed holidays and traditions.

Colony schools serve children from within the Hutterite community, from kindergarten to Grade 8, offering a unique opportunity to engage with their values and traditions through their youngest members. Students typically begin speaking a German dialect, so teachers focus on developing English skills in speaking, reading, and writing.

The student group is close-knit, similar to small rural schools, where children of all ages experience their school days together through learning and playing. This multi-grade workplace encourages collaboration, independence, and strong relationships among students.

It is a priority within the community to keep traditional values at the center of students’ learning experiences. This includes a limited use of technology, placing greater emphasis on cultural learning and hands-on, face-to-face interaction.



The result is a focused environment that minimizes screen use and supports meaningful, relationship-based learning.
