Position Description Essential Job Functions : Coram Deo Academy teachers are called to be models of what we desire for our students. They are committed to Christ, love learning, and strive to be wise thinkers and ethical servant-leaders. We see this priority of imitation expressed by the apostle Paul in Philippians 4 : 8-9, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me — practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” Teachers are to embody both the Spirit of Christ and the spirit of inquiry. They should be saturated with the Word of God and be able to think biblically. They should exhibit proficiency in their academic disciplines and demonstrate a passion for learning by their own study and reading, participation in school improvement and professional development. They should seek to cultivate wisdom and virtue in their students through pursuing their own wisdom and virtue with humility and repentance.Instructional Expectations : Display the love of Christ and encourage students in developing a relationship with HimDemonstrate Christian love, faith, truthfulness, and virtue in all facets of life and teachingEstablish a Biblical understanding of authority and commit to Biblical peacemakingFocus on the heart when training, instructing, and disciplining childrenWork to build the school community toward a love of Christ and one anotherTeach students using Christian principles through classical philosophy and pedagogyCreate a vibrant learning atmosphere that fosters wonder and joyful engagementLead students through meaningful learning activities in alignment with the CDA CurriculumPreparation : Create lesson plans using the principles from The Seven Laws of Teaching as a guidePrepare classroom presentations, homework assignments, and handoutsAssessment : Evaluate and grade class work and assignmentsPost assignments and grades according to school policies and practicesObserve and manage student behavior and performanceAdministrative : Communicate regularly with administration and parents, responding in a timely mannerEstablish a collaborative relationship with CDA parents using the University-Model TM approachRecord and maintain accurate student attendanceActively participate in faculty meetings and district meetingsComplete CDA’s Teacher Certification Program per policy and pursue additional continuing education requirementsPerform additional administrative duties as neededKnowledge, Skills, and Qualifications : Exhibit the gifting and desire necessary to teach in the requested discipline or grade levelUtilize effective oral and written communication skills in collaboration with parents and staffCollaborate effectively with faculty members within grade level or departmentDemonstrate patience and humility in stressful situations, good listening skills, and strong planning and organizational skillsDemonstrate an understanding of child development with a focus on the age being taughtPrompt and timely attendance, modest attire, appropriate social media presenceBasic computer skills (Word, Outlook, etc.)Possess the technological ability to utilize online platforms to teach classes remotely with a computer and at-home wi-fiEducation and Experience : Bachelors degree requiredKnowledge of children requiredKnowledge of Christian, classical, and collaborative educational model preferredLove of learning and commitment to continued personal growth#J-18808-Ljbffr
