Job Description

As a middle school history teacher at Uncommon Schools, you will work in grade-level teams and departments to push students towards being self-guided learners. You will develop subject mastery and have a keen sense of the socio-emotional changes middle school students experience, guiding them to understand the author's claim and the power of sourcing while developing skills of argumentation, corroboration, inquiry, and historiography through primary and secondary source analysis.

Responsibilities

  • 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 build an inclusive and safe environment where they are empowered to use their voices to express evidence-based opinions and perspectives.
  • You will meet weekly with your principal and/or instructional coach to analyze and respond to trends in student work samples and assessments, implementing strategies to differentiate instruction for all learners in your classroom.

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

Benefits

  • Generous paid time off, including 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 3 comprehensive health insurance plans.
  • Pre-tax flexible spending and health saving accounts.
  • Financial planning & wellness benefits.
