We are seeking teachers for the following subject areas:

Visual Arts: we are seeking a high school art teacher to oversee basic, intermediate and advanced art classes for teenage students. These courses would include basic drawing, painting and ceramics projects that allow participants to build a portfolio of work. The curriculum should also include art history lessons and critical thinking skills. This is a newly created position due to high student demand.

Responsibilities

Instruction:

  • You’ll teach all Visual Arts based content.
  • You’ll implement curricula and activities to meet academic standards.
  • You’ll design and implement assessments that measure progress towards academic standards.
  • You’ll use assessment data to refine curriculum and inform instructional practices.
  • You’ll participate in collaborative curriculum development, grade-level activities, and school-wide functions.
  • You’ll provide consistent rewards and/or consequences for student behavior.
  • You’ll be accountable for students’ mastery of academic standards.

School Culture and Daily School Activities:

  • You’ll build positive relationships with students to ensure they feel seen, loved, and heard.
  • You’ll partner with students’ families to ensure appropriate resources are available to support their child's learning needs.
  • You'll engage in practice-based professional development, mentorship, and coaching sessions.

  • A self-directed learner who solicits and implements feedback to improve outcomes and achieve objectives
  • Required Experience:
    • A minimum of 2 years of combined experience with Visual Arts
    • Prior to the start of employment, you must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. Teacher certification is not a prerequisite for consideration at Uncommon Schools in the state of NJ, but you do need to meet NJ state certification eligibility requirements (a final undergraduate or graduate cumulative GPA of 3.0 for graduates on or after 9/1/16, or 2.75 if you graduated prior to 9/1/16). All instructional staff are required to become certified in the state of New Jersey within a reasonable period after beginning employment.
