Job Title: High School History Teacher

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. Uncommon currently manages 52 schools serving 19,000 students in five cities: Boston, Camden, New York City, Newark, and Rochester. 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.

Job Description

As a High School History Teacher at Uncommon Schools, you will play a critical role in shaping the minds of our students. You will work in department teams to push students towards being self-guided learners, becoming experts in their course content, and developing 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
  • You will 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 will 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 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 build an inclusive and safe environment where students are empowered to use their voices to express evidence-based opinions and perspectives.
  • You will work with the History department to determine academic and engagement goals for students.
Requirements
  • 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.
  • Required Experience:
    • 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.
Benefits
  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits that support the personal health, wellness, and finances of our staff and their families.
  • 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.
