Upper School Grade 7 Educator
Slate School seeks an experienced educator to join our Grade 7 team at the Upper School during the 2024-2025 academic year.
In the middle grades at Slate School, students and teachers are engaged in a dynamic, collaborative environment that builds upon the project-based studio model that is widely and successfully used in the college setting. In this unique approach, educators launch investigations by helping learners to develop knowledge and skills, and then learn alongside them as they explore deeply, create, revise, and reflect on their own learning. Students then engage in collaborative projects, applying their learning to tackle problems in the real world.
Through our time-tested apprenticeship model, aspiring and experienced educators learn from an experienced mentor about how to facilitate our interdisciplinary, student-centered approach. Educators of all backgrounds -- including experienced teachers from other settings -- all benefit from this immersive experience at Slate School.
Our ideal candidate demonstrates a proven commitment to creativity, curiosity, and innovative teaching. This often means that you have a combination of teaching experience in the classroom along with a bachelor's degree in an applicable field of study. Slate School's educators are passionate about teaching and designing experiences that are tailored to the interests of each unique cohort of learners. State Certification is welcomed, but not required.
Qualifications and requirements include:
Minimum of a Bachelor's degree required at start of employment, with a strong academic record in any major. A degree or certification in education is a plus.
Demonstrated experience as a teacher is important.
Excellent organizational, analytical, and interpersonal skills
Passionate interest in education
Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
Detail-oriented work style
Strong initiative and motivation
