What We Need
We are looking for an American History teacher who is excited by our innovative model and who is nearly bursting with passion for democratic education. The ideal candidate will have some experience teaching history to middle or high school students. Since our school includes students with a variety of learning challenges as well as typical learners, a special education background is also a plus.
The right person might be
- a person with a degree in history who would love to apply her/his skills to teaching;
- a history teacher who is tired of working in a restrictive environment with too many students to give each and every student what s/he needs;
- someone who is new to teaching and can’t imagine working in a traditional school;
- a parent who is unwilling to send her/his child(ren) to public school, wants to be a part of their education, and has the background described above;
- someone retired from teaching who can’t stay away from education but won’t stand for any other place than a school in which the kids are empowered;
- a person with real-life skills who wants to apply her/his knowledge through teaching;
- someone who is uniquely qualified for reasons we haven’t yet considered.
What We're Offering
We are hiring for a full-time middle school/high school American History teacher for the 2024-2025 School Year.
The work hours would be 3 days per week from 8:15 AM to 3:15 PM, and 2 days per week from 8:15 AM to 4:30 PM. There may be some addition required community events in the evenings or weekends a few times per year (for which there is no additional compensation).
We are a small, private school with a small budget. Please read this carefully before applying for the position. We are offering a salary of $3,000. If you have a child/children who you would like to enroll in the school, waived tuition and less salary would be a possibility.
