Job Description

At Uncommon Schools Camden Prep, we are seeking an Elementary Teacher to join our team of dedicated educators. As an Elementary Teacher, you will play a critical role in cultivating a love for learning in every student from the very start.

Responsibilities

1. Instruction

  • You will co-teach and build an engaging and joyful classroom environment that encourages mastery and empowers students to engage in academic discourse.
  • You will teach the basic principles of mathematics.
  • You will teach reading and writing to build students' literacy skills: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
  • You will teach an ELA curriculum that prioritizes meaningful texts and topics that are interesting and relevant.
  • You will teach a Science curriculum that prioritizes knowledge of geology, astronomy, ecology, and cycles in nature to ensure students understand climate change and how to take care of the Earth.
  • You will teach a Social Studies curriculum that incorporates analyses of America's diverse histories, with an emphasis on cultural and civic awareness.

2. Data Analysis

  • You will meet weekly with your principal and/or instructional coach to analyze and respond to trends in student work samples and assessments.
  • You will learn and implement strategies to differentiate instruction for all learners in your classroom.

Qualifications

  • A commitment to the mission of Uncommon Schools and investment in our vision for being an anti-racist organization.
  • A demonstrated commitment to supporting students' social emotional and academic development.
  • An enthusiasm for working with families in the best interest of students.
  • A self-directed learner who solicits and implements feedback to improve outcomes and achieve objectives.
  • Required Experience:
    • A demonstrated interest in impacting K-12 students in urban schools and communities (1-2 years experience preferred).
    • Academic expertise in Elementary Education, Humanities, English, Social Sciences, or other related fields of study.
    • 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.

Benefits

  • We offer competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits that support the personal health, wellness, and finances of our staff and their families.
  • The starting compensation for this role is between $56,000 to $77,000. The starting pay will depend on various factors including but not limited to relevant professional experience, education, certifications, and tenure with Uncommon Schools. Because we value staff tenure in a role, we do not currently cap salary ranges for current staff members.
  • Other benefits include:
    • Generous paid time off inclusive of sick time and school breaks (spring, winter, and summer) + additional sustainability half days throughout the school year.
    • Extensive, best-in-class training and development.
    • Choice of 3 comprehensive health insurance plans.
    • Pre-tax flexible spending and health saving accounts.
    • Financial planning & wellness:
      • New Jersey Pension program.
      • 529 college savings program.
      • Public Service Loan Forgiveness application assistance.
      • Financial planning tools and assistance.
    • Dependent Care FSA, back up childcare and daycare discounts.
    • Paid leave of absence:
      • Fully paid parental leave.
      • Fully paid medical leave.
      • Additional paid Short Term and Long Term Disability insurance.
    • Mental health and counseling support + wellness benefits.

Uncommon believes in the importance of being a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization that enables our students and staff to thrive. We are committed to building an exceptional team that reflects the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our students. We also strive to ensure an inclusive community by creating a space for meaningful dialogue about issues of race and identity for our staff and students.
