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

Uncommon Schools is a network of high-performing, public charter schools dedicated to providing an outstanding education in historically under-resourced communities. Our mission is to close the opportunity gap and prepare students for success in college and beyond.

We are seeking a Senior History Educator to join our team. This role will work closely with department teams to push students towards becoming self-guided learners. The ideal candidate will become an expert in their course content and have a keen sense of how to motivate and inspire high school students.

Responsibilities:

  • Instruction: Teach a curriculum that prioritizes analysis of World, US History, American Government, and Economics in preparation for Advanced Placement (AP) and collegiate level coursework.
  • Facilitate student-led discourse of historical topics, where students grapple with open-ended guiding questions, engage in peer-to-peer debate, and synthesize arguments.
  • 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.
  • Create an inclusive and safe environment where students feel empowered to use their voices to express evidence-based opinions and perspectives.
  • Work with the History department to determine academic and engagement goals for students.
  • Data Analysis: Meet weekly with your principal and/or instructional coach to analyze and respond to trends in student work samples and assessments.
  • Learn and implement strategies to differentiate instruction for all learners in your classroom.
  • School Culture: Build positive relationships with students to ensure they feel seen, loved, and heard.
  • Partner with students' families to ensure appropriate resources are available to support their child's learning needs.
  • Engage in practice-based professional development, mentorship, and coaching sessions.
  • Participate in weekly, school-wide meetings to cultivate community, model our core values, and encourage student achievement.

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.

Requirements:

  • 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.

Compensation and Benefits:

The estimated salary range for this position is $65,000 - $85,000 per year. Additionally, we offer comprehensive benefits, including paid time off, extensive training and development opportunities, and choice of 3 comprehensive health insurance plans.

At Uncommon Schools, we believe in creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment that enables our students and staff to thrive. We strive to build a community that reflects the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our students and promote meaningful dialogue about issues of race and identity. As an equal opportunity employer, we provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
