Brooklyn, New York, United States BASIS Independent Brooklyn Upper Full time

BASIS Independent Brooklyn Upper is seeking qualified candidates for a High School English and AP Language Arts Teacher for the upcoming school year

What We're Looking For

BASIS Independent teachers are knowledgeable, passionate, and believe in transforming education. As part of a uniquely collaborative and professional teaching community, BASIS Independent teachers motivate students to reach their highest potential, while also elevating their own skills through peer collaboration and a culture where learning is of the greatest importance.

As an English and AP Language Arts Teacher, it is primarily your responsibility to develop engaging, content-rich subject-specific lesson plans and to teach creative thinking and problem-solving. English teachers build upon the elementary years' foundation of language and social science skills and knowledge. Teachers have the freedom to choose their own books and texts to maximize student learning, and to select materials that will excite and engage their students with the subject. We encourage our teachers to bring their own excitement and passion for their subject into the classroom to spark students' natural curiosity and enhance their interest.

Primary Job Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Prepare subject-specific lessons in English and AP Language Arts.
  • Provide subject instruction on a higher level than grade standard, in an interactive learning environment, and deliver exceptional results for all students.
  • Implement BASIS Curriculum by designing effective and creative lessons and assessments to ensure students' education is at an internationally competitive level.
  • Collaborate with other BASIS Independent teachers to form a community of smart, talented, and interesting people who are passionate about education and readily willing to work in a professional, academic environment.
  • Tutor students in content-specific knowledge and skills to heighten the trajectory of students' academic and career success.
  • Manage student behavior to foster academic achievement, personal responsibility, intellect, and individuality in all students.

Essential Teacher Qualifications:

  • Has deep knowledge of and passion for the subject taught
  • Able to differentiate instruction and engage students in rigorous content
  • Able to create a positive classroom community and build relationships with students
  • Has strong verbal and written communication skills with students, colleagues, and parents
  • Open to feedback and continuous growth
  • Creative in instructional and classroom management strategies(high warm and high firm)
  • Cooperative, collaborative, supportive, flexible
  • Has a strong work ethic and a "do whatever it takes" mindset

Additional Qualifications

  • Minimum Qualifications: A bachelor's degree in the subject area. Coursework or experience in education is not required, nor is certification. Candidates must have the ability to obtain a fingerprint clearance card.
  • Preferred Qualifications: Subject matter postgraduate work (master's or Ph.D.) is preferred. Together with a high level of educational attainment, a successful applicant will demonstrate strong communication skills in teaching ideas, texts, and concepts with precision and confidence. Critically, an applicant must possess a high GPA in their major, excellent recommendations, experience working with children- not necessarily in the classroom- and be open to new ideas in teaching.

Benefits:

BASIS Independent Schools offers a comprehensive benefits package which includes:

  • Competitive salary dependent on education and experience.
  • Career growth opportunities focused on continuous learning, mentorship, and professional advancement across our network of schools.
  • Retirement options through which eligible participants may receive a 50% Company match for the first 10% of employee earnings deferred.
  • Three PPO medical plans to choose from, as well as dental and vision insurance.
  • An FSA option that allows for pre-tax dollars to cover medical, dependent care, and transit.
  • Student tuition remission for your children to attend our schools.
