We are seeking an exceptional Middle School History Educator to join our team at Uncommon Schools Roxbury Prep.

Company Overview

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. Our mission is to close the academic achievement gap and prepare students from low-income backgrounds for success in college and beyond.

We currently manage 52 schools serving more than 19,000 students in five cities: Boston, Camden, New York City, Newark, and Rochester. Our students have an impressive 98% college acceptance rate and collectively earned 1.3 million dollars in scholarships last year.

Salary

The estimated salary for this position ranges between $57,000 to $89,000 per year, depending on various factors such as professional experience, education, and location.

Job Description

As a Middle School History Educator, you will work in grade-level teams and departments to push students towards becoming self-guided learners. You will develop subject mastery and have a keen sense of the socio-emotional changes middle school students experience. Your classes will aim to empower students' voices and develop them into global citizens by emphasizing textual analysis, analytical writing, and discourse.

  • You will facilitate student-led discussions of historical topics, where students grapple with open-ended guiding questions, engage in peer-to-peer debate, and synthesize arguments.
  • You will 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 will teach an in-house curriculum that prioritizes the diverse histories of Indigenous peoples, African Americans, women, ancient cultures, and the impact all of these groups have had on the development of the United States.
  • You will build an inclusive and safe environment where students are empowered to use their voices to express evidence-based opinions and perspectives.
Required Skills and Qualifications

To be successful in this role, you must have:

  • 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.
  • At least one year of experience impacting K-12 students in urban schools and communities.
  • Academic expertise in Humanities, English, Social Sciences, or other related fields of study.
  • A bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher.
Benefits

We offer comprehensive, flexible, and competitive benefits that support the personal health, wellness, and finances of our staff and their families. These 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 opportunities.
  • Choice of three comprehensive health insurance plans.
  • Pre-tax flexible spending and health saving accounts.
  • Financial planning & wellness benefits, including pension through Mass. Teachers Retirement System and 403(b) retirement savings program.
  • Dependent Care FSA, back-up childcare and daycare discounts.
  • Paid leave of absence, including fully paid parental leave and medical leave.
  • Mental health and counseling support + wellness benefits.
