1 month ago


Nashville, Tennessee, United States University School of Nashville Full time

August 2024

University School of Nashville invites qualified candidates to apply for a full-time position teaching within the history department. Responsibilities include teaching a full course load of history courses as well as other relevant history and social science electives. Our new colleague will also serve as an advisor to approximately ten students, collaborate frequently with partners within and outside the history department, participate collegially in initiatives of the history department and of the high school faculty, and take an active role in the life of the school community.

Qualifications include at least a bachelor's degree in history or a closely related field, high school or college teaching experience, the ability to teach a range of learning levels and styles using research-based best practices, a love for high school students, and experience in a diverse school community. Experience in curriculum development and revision are further qualifications for an ideal candidate.

USN has a deep commitment to equitable and just community spaces. Candidates should be knowledgeable of research on how implicit biases in race, ethnicity, gender identity and socioeconomic class can shape curricula and pedagogy, classroom culture, and student outcomes. Candidates should be able to translate that knowledge into demonstrable actions that promote equitable and just teaching and learning.

The School

University School of Nashville is an independent, non-sectarian, co-educational day school with enrollment of over 1,000 students in kindergarten through twelfth grade. In 1915, the George Peabody College for Teachers opened Peabody Demonstration School, USN's predecessor, which earned acclaim for its curriculum and faculty. In 1974, Peabody College announced plans to close PDS, and a group of parents, alumni, students, and teachers reconstituted and re-chartered the school as University School of Nashville.

USN's midtown location adjacent to Vanderbilt University and its Peabody College for Teachers reminds us each day of our beginnings over 108 years ago in the demonstration school culture of innovation and educational best practices. It's a vibrant educational community for both students and teachers in the midst of a dynamic city.

In the USN community, students expect much of each other, and faculty benefit from that high standard. We seek educators who are enthusiastic about their own learning to complement their work and we offer many opportunities for professional growth. USN is committed to creating an institutional environment that mirrors the cultural and ethnic composition of greater Nashville. USN encourages a diverse applicant pool and provides equal employment opportunities for employees and job applicants.
