Willingboro, New Jersey, United States Uncommon Schools Full time
Job Description

Uncommon Schools is a nonprofit network of high-performing, public charter schools providing an outstanding K-12 education in historically under-resourced communities.

We have proudly built schools that reflect our student population, with more than 60% of our teachers and staff across our network identifying as a person of color.

We are proud that Uncommon graduates persist in and graduate from college at five times the rate of their peers nationally.

We achieve this by offering strong academic, co-curricular, and social-emotional learning that prepares students for success in college and beyond.

Our high school history teachers work in department teams to push students towards being self-guided learners.

Our teachers become experts in their course content and have a keen sense of how to motivate and inspire high school students.

History classes aim to empower students' voices and develop them into global citizens by emphasizing textual analysis, analytical writing, and discourse.

At the conclusion of high school, students are prepared for academic autonomy and college preparatory work.

Responsibilities
  1. Instruction

    You'll teach a curriculum that prioritizes analysis of World, US History, American Government, and Economics in preparation for Advanced Placement (AP) and collegiate level coursework.

    You'll facilitate student-led discourse of historical topics, where students grapple with open-ended guiding questions, engage in peer to peer debate, and synthesize arguments.

    You'll guide students to understand the author's claim and the power of sourcing while developing the skills of argumentation, corroboration, inquiry, and historiography through primary and secondary source analysis.

    You'll build an inclusive and safe environment where students are empowered to use their voices to express evidence-based opinions and perspectives.

  2. Data Analysis

    You'll meet weekly with your principal and/or instructional coach to analyze and respond to trends in student work samples and assessments.

    You'll learn and implement strategies to differentiate instruction for all learners in your classroom.

  3. School Culture

    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.

    You'll participate in weekly, school-wide meetings to cultivate community, model our core values, and encourage student achievement.

    You'll partner with your grade level team to develop academic goals and practice instructional strategies.

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 collaborating with internal and external partners in the best interest of students.

A self-directed learner who solicits and implements feedback to improve outcomes and achieve objectives.

A demonstrated interest in impacting K-12 students in urban schools and communities (1-2 years experience preferred).

Academic expertise in Education, History, Geography, Political Science, Criminal Justice, Social Sciences, or the Humanities.

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.
