Integrative Studies - Middle School Science Teacher

 

The McGillis School, an established, independent K-8 school in Salt Lake City, Utah has an opening for a Science teacher in our Integrative Studies program in the Middle School, beginning August of 2023.

 

In addition to a demonstrated capacity for best teaching practices and evident joy in working with Middle School students, candidates should be collaborative, flexible, and generative in nature. Teachers of science, humanities, and writing collaborate constantly to plan and implement a dynamic curriculum that makes explicit interdisciplinary connections. The curriculum evolves annually, and requires critical thinking and creative problem-solving for students and teachers alike. As such, the role requires an educator keen to work closely on a progressive interdisciplinary team including humanities and writing teaching colleagues. A willingness to learn about and create innovative, integrated curricula is essential.

 

Integrative Studies Teacher Responsibilities:

• Develop well-reasoned lesson plans and units in close collaboration with colleagues.
• Meet weekly with Integrative Studies and departmental colleagues to engage in the collaborative planning process.
• Apply various effective, research-based instruction and assessment techniques.
• Differentiate instruction within a heterogeneous classroom.
• Manage a positive and structured classroom environment.
• Communicate consistently with parents/guardians and colleagues.
• Monitor student safety at all times.
• Participate in weekly faculty meetings.
• Engage in professional development opportunities, as well as in the professional growth model specific to The McGillis School.
• Conduct oneself in a professional manner at all times.
• Participate in co-curricular program opportunities specific to The McGillis School (Family Group, Shabbat, Advisory, etc.)
• Participate in at least two multi-day school trips annually.
• Serve as a Mentor to a small cohort of Middle School students.

 

In tandem with excellent teaching, the successful candidate will be expected to embrace fully and convey effectively the qualities described in McGillis’s Purpose-Mission-Values statement, Diversity statement, and Core Program statement.

 

The McGillis School is built on the premise that diversity, equity, and inclusion matter. We believe a diverse, inclusive community is essential to a rich educational experience, and we support each person in our community to reach their full potential. This support especially extends to our teaching faculty. We offer competitive pay and benefits and have a strong commitment for supporting the professional development of our employees. We encourage applicants who feel McGillis’s values resonate strongly with them to apply.
