History Teacher
Saint Ann's School (preK-12, www.saintannsny.org) is a non-religious independent school in Brooklyn, NY seeking a History teacher for a full-time position. We seek the rare combination of a passionate teacher and learned history scholar who is thrilled to share that passion with students ranging from grades 4-12, and who is excited to teach in a flexible, creative environment. Teachers at Saint Ann’s enjoy a great deal of freedom in the classroom and are encouraged to introduce their own scholarly interests to their students within the parameters of the curriculum.
We do not give grades. Instead, twice a year, teachers write full-page reports on each student’s progress. This is a big task and not for a reluctant writer, but teachers who get behind our written reports find it more rewarding and satisfying than giving grades.
Extensive knowledge in the field of history is required, though significant self-study is taken as seriously as advanced degrees. Some experience working with children is helpful, though teaching experience is not a requirement.
