    Description

    High School History Teacher
    New York, NY, USA
    Full-time
    RY 24-25

    Job Description
    Uncommon High School History teachers work in department teams to push students towards being self-guided learners. Our teachers become experts in their course content and have 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

    1. Instruction

    You'll 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'll 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'll 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'll build an inclusive and safe environment where students are empowered to use their voices to express evidence-based opinions and perspectives.
    You'll work with the History department to determine academic and engagement goals for students.
    2. Data Analysis

    You'll meet weekly with your principal and/or instructional coach to analyze and respond to trends in student work samples and assessments.
    You'll learn and implement strategies to differentiate instruction for all learners in your classroom.
    3. School Culture

    You'll build positive relationships with students to ensure they feel seen, loved, and heard.
    You'll partner with students' families to ensure appropriate resources are available to support their child's learning needs.
    You'll engage in practice-based professional development, mentorship, and coaching sessions.
    You'll participate in weekly, school-wide meetings to cultivate community, model our core values, and encourage student achievement.
    You'll partner with your grade level team to develop academic goals and practice instructional strategies.
    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
    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. Certification is not required to be hired at Uncommon, but you do need to meet NY state certification eligibility requirements. To meet these requirements, you must enroll in a teacher preparation program and maintain a GPA of 2.5 or higher during your employment with us if you do not have a degree in education. Uncommon Schools teachers are required to become certified in the state of New York within a reasonable period after beginning employment.
    Additional Information
    Our people are what makes us Uncommon. We believe our compensation philosophy and benefits should reflect our values—equity, transparency, and clarity—to enhance our ability to attract and retain talent and reward their expertise. Our staff receive best-in-class training, coaching, and support to develop and operate mission-driven schools that provide a high-quality education to our students and families.

    Compensation for this position: The starting compensation for this role based in New York City for school year is between $64,000 to $96,900 and the starting compensation for school year is between $65,000 to $97,900. The starting pay will depend on various factors that may include but are not limited to professional experience, education, training, certifications, tenure with Uncommon Schools, and work location. Because one of the things that we value is staff tenure in a role, we do not currently cap salary ranges. Please note: ranges may differ for staff who work from a location other than New York.

    Benefits: We offer comprehensive, flexible, and competitive compensation, benefits and perks that support the personal health, wellness, and finances of our staff and their families.
