History Teacher - Brooklyn, United States - Saint Ann's School
Description
POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT: HISTORY TEACHER
Saint Ann's School, an independent, non-sectarian day school enrolling nearly 1100 students in pre-kindergarten through high school, seeks the rare combination of a passionate teacher and learned history scholar who is thrilled to share that passion with students ranging from fourth–twelfth grade, and who is excited to teach in a flexible, creative environment.
ABOUT SAINT ANN'S SCHOOL
Since its founding in 1965, Saint Ann's has embraced a commitment to education for its own sake, oriented to the capacities of each individual student and free of the encumbrances of formal grading, prizes, and rankings. At the same time, we are unabashedly committed to excellence in all that we do. With a faculty and staff numbering close to 400, and nearly 1100 students, Saint Ann's is among the largest and most selective independent schools in New York City. The lives of our graduates speak powerfully to the potential of an education based on these principles to ignite a love of learning and sustain creative energy in every field of endeavor. We accomplish this by bringing together talented teachers with creative and motivated students. Saint Ann's is committed to centering anti-racism in the life of the school. Seeking to create a community rooted in trust and equity, we invite each other to take risks, pursue knowledge, and celebrate growth.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Teachers at Saint Ann's must be committed to working with students from a wide variety of backgrounds, meeting the individual needs of students, and investing in the School's ongoing work around issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Academic classes at Saint Ann's meet four times per week, and teachers teach four classes, generally two high school classes and two middle school classes. Teachers have minimal duties outside of teaching: we do not act as advisors, we do not coach sports (unless we elect to), we do not advise publications (again, unless we elect to). Our expectation is that teachers will spend their non-teaching hours preparing for their classes and pursuing their academic and extra-curricular interests.
We do not give grades. Instead, twice a year, teachers write full-page reports on each student's progress. Reports are a holistic description of a student's work over the course of the semester and include anecdotes, descriptions of a child's progress with a particular skill and the development of their understanding of the subject material. Report writing is intrinsic to how we understand our students, and teachers find it more rewarding and satisfying than giving grades.
History Curriculum
Each grade from fourth through tenth follows a general theme or timeframe. Fourth grade is an introduction to history and in fifth grade the focus is on New York City. Sixth grade history begins the world history sequence of the next four years with an examination of prehistory and ancient civilizations around the world. By the end of ninth grade, this takes the students well into the 20th century. Tenth grade is U.S. history. Starting in eleventh grade, students can choose from a variety of electives. Recent offerings have included "Postwar," "The History of Midwifery," "Black Activism," "Premodern East Asia" and "Modern China and Russia."
Teachers at Saint Ann's enjoy a great deal of freedom in the classroom, and at Saint Ann's, teachers are encouraged to introduce their own scholarly interests to their students within the broad parameters of the curriculum. At the same time, we are a collegial department: faculty members are encouraged to collaborate and share their curricular ideas.
