Job Description
Teachers who want to change the world come to the Guidepost Academy at Hollywood Beach Come join a middle and high school program that emphasizes history, humanism, and heroism in all things : come be part of a school that is changing the face of education. We are looking for a Middle School Teacher for the 2025 school year. Apply today and join our wonderful community!
Changing the world is in our DNA. Our organization was founded to do just that—a group of educators and likeminded individuals had caught a glimpse of what could be possible in education, and wanted to bring it to the world. Education today is filled with false alternatives. We disrupt them all. Our vision is a classroom where students plumb the depths of human knowledge and aspire to the height of intellectualism—and do it all at their own self-direction. Do you believe that there is critical, life-shaping knowledge that children desperately need—but also believe that they need to be in the driver's seat when they pursue it? Then Guidepost Academy is the place for you.
Guidepost Academy is a network of Montessori-inspired middle and high schools, including both brick and mortar campuses and a fully virtual program. Our Montessori approach means we believe in promoting each student's individual agency. This includes open-ended, free work periods, where students choose what to work on and work at their own pace. We bring structure to that through a coaching-based approach that helps students plan their own goals for the day and week, using adults as guides and accountability partners.
This approach takes work to learn, so you'll need to come in with that attitude. It also takes flexibility and a willingness to experiment. You will be joining a team of ambitious, creative, and inspiring educators and a fast-paced organization with opportunities for growth and development.
This is a full-time, on-campus position at our Hollywood Beach campus.
Your role :
- Work with Guidepost Academy program experts to apply and individualize the Guidepost curriculum for your classroom
- Facilitate student progression through coursework through regular feedback and assessment and opportunities to apply these topics in interdisciplinary projects and real-world problems
- 1 : 1 coaching to a cohort of students where you are fully invested in all aspects of their personal, academic, and social development
- Establishing and modeling a strong, supportive community that upholds Guidepost Academly's core values at all times
- Working closely with your colleagues on campus and throughout the Guidepost Academy network to continually improve the program and support our students
- Partner with parents to ensure students are fully supported at home and at school
