    Description

    Middle School ELA Teacher
    New York, NY, USA
    Full-time
    RY 24-25

    Job Description
    Uncommon Middle School English Language Arts (ELA) teachers are passionate about literature and building an engaging classroom culture. Our teachers develop subject mastery and have a keen sense of the socio-emotional changes middle schoolers experience. At the heart of all ELA classes is an emphasis on writing and discourse designed to give students the tools to be confident in the power of their own voice. Teachers are trained in a variety of research-based instructional strategies to prioritize discussion, ignite a passion for literature, build reading comprehension, and promote agency. By the conclusion of eighth grade, students are prepared for the academic autonomy and college preparatory focus of our high schools.

    Responsibilities

    1. Instruction

    You'll empower students to be their fullest selves by teaching an inclusive, culturally responsive curriculum that seeks equitable outcomes for all students.
    You'll guide students to analyze literary and non-narrative texts, assess an author's purpose, write in a variety of genres, and grapple with meaningful questions in student-led discourse.
    You'll create an inclusive and safe environment, allying with students to speak and write in their authentic voice.
    You'll guide students to choose books of interest independently, as they develop their own passions and interests as readers.
    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 Humanities, English, Social Sciences, or other related fields of study.
    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 City.

    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.
