New York, New York, United States Bank Street College of Education Full time $61,000 - $150,000

Bank Street School for Children

Humanities & Homeroom Teacher (Grade 6) (One-year position - Leave Replacement)

Start Date: August 31, 2026Salary: 61K–150K

Schedule: This role is a 10-month position, and is in the Professional Employees' Federation (PEF), the union for faculty members at Bank Street College. The hours for this position are  8:00 AM–4:00 PM, Mondays through Fridays, and until 5:00 PM on Wednesdays for a weekly afternoon faculty meeting. This role also includes occasional overnight work (~1 multi-night trip per year) and occasional event support (~4 per year) that may happen early mornings, evenings, or weekends.

About the School

A leader in progressive education for more than 100 years, the Bank Street School for Children provides students, from nursery through 8th grade, an education that engages their natural curiosity, nurtures critical thinking, and helps to develop a sense of community and social responsibility. Through a teaching approach that is fundamentally hands-on and child-centered, Bank Street students develop the courage and confidence to think independently, work collaboratively, understand themselves and others more deeply, and possess the compassion to make meaning of the world around them. 

About the Position

The Bank Street School for Children is seeking a passionate, knowledgeable, and team-oriented Humanities teacher. The 6th Grade Humanities curriculum covers Language Arts (reading, literature and writing) and Social Studies (a study of belief systems). Grade-level homeroom advisors engage in social emotional support, executive function support, close collaboration with a homeroom co-advisor, and communication with family members. The ideal candidate will be excited about working with 11s and 12s in progressive school that values social justice and equity. 

This role will fill a unique need in the Upper School for at least two years. In the school year, the role will fill a 1 year sabbatical leave replacement. In , we will have three classes of 6th graders (instead of two) in the Upper School, and this role will serve that third classroom of students. Consideration for employment for the school year and beyond is dependent on performance in the role, availability of relevant teaching experiences, and experience.
