What are the responsibilities and job description for the Exeter Summer Potential Teaching Positions position at Phillips Exeter Academy?
Position: Potential Teaching Opportunities
Exeter Summer is a five-week rigorous academic program for middle and high school students taught in the Harkness Method. These students come from every corner of the globe and embody a rich diversity of language, culture, religion, and race. A high percentage of students choose to board on campus during the program; day students are affiliated with dorms and have opportunity to participate in residential life activities.
Responsibilities:
· Teaching: Faculty teach 1 to 3 classes. All classes are student-centered discussions taught in the Harkness Method. You may view the courses we plan to run for the upcoming session here: Access Exeter (middle school program) and Upper School (high school program).
· Cultural Competency: Faculty are expected to demonstrate respect for diversity of identities and experiences, an orientation toward equity and inclusion, and cultural competency in all aspects of Academy life.
· Residential Life: A key component to the experience at Exeter Summer is residential life. Faculty have the opportunity to work on a dorm team to create a positive experience for students, many of whom have never attended a boarding school.
· Advising: Faculty members serve as advisors for 10-15 students each. Advisors meet regularly with their advisees and act as the main point of contact between Exeter Summer and student families.
· Activities: Faculty assist with move-in and move-out dates, chaperone on and off-campus activities, and facilitate evening social functions.
Additional Requirements:
· Experience with diversity or cultural competency education (conferences, seminars, in-service programs, coursework, or independent study).
· Proof of authority to work in the Unites States.
· Successful completion of a criminal background check.
Please Note: Exeter Summer does not accept third party referrals. All applicants must submit all required materials through our online application.
