    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.

    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.
