AIM Academy is seeking to fill an Upper School Faculty: Film and Stage Production teaching position for the Fall 2024 school year. AIM's Upper School (grades 9-12) is an innovative and collaborative environment where teachers have smaller than usual caseloads so they can focus on the individual needs of students. Teaching faculty in the Upper School enjoy a good deal of autonomy in the material they teach as well as very well-developed support structures to employ key research-based practices for comprehension, writing, critical thinking, vocabulary, and engagement with various forms of information.

AIM is seeking a thinker, builder, tinkerer, and doer in the fields of media and visual and performing arts who can help us expand our current course offerings into future ready areas. Classes may include Film and Animation and Set Design and Production, as well as potential courses based on the applicant's skill set. This ideal candidate will also participate in AIM's after-school performing arts program and theater productions.

The ideal candidate should be forward thinking, and always eager to bring new technologies and strategies into the classroom to prepare our students for future success.

The ideal candidate will have experience teaching, particularly to students with language based learning differences like dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia as well as working with students who may have processing or attention issues. The ideal candidate will also understand how to marry explicit instruction with a college preparatory scope and sequence.

Because AIM is dedicated to creating a culture of equity and inclusion, candidates should value engaging in open dialogue, questioning, confronting assumptions, and attuning to all voices. Please review AIM's " Equity and Diversity Statement ."
