This position provides aspiring teachers the opportunity to work closely with a mentor and other experienced faculty members across campus. Enthusiasm for working with adolescents both inside and outside of the classroom is essential. Providing extra help, advising, working as dormitory faculty, and assisting with extracurricular activities are integral parts of the job.

Accountabilities

While individual responsibilities will vary from one faculty position to another, the major job duties of all faculty interns include the following:

• Teaching: Interns will work with experienced faculty, co-teaching and observing classes in the fall, then working with increasing independence in winter and spring trimesters. The number of courses assigned will be determined by enrollment and the successful candidate’s qualifications, including the possibility of an independently taught course in the fall. In keeping with the principles of our Harkness pedagogy, interns will observe and facilitate classes that generally take the form of student-centered discussions around a Harkness table. In order to meet the intellectual needs of the school’s talented and highly motivated students, teachers are expected to be dedicated to daily preparation for the best possible classes.
• Cultural Competency: Interns 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: Interns live in campus housing and play a critical role in cultivating Exeter’s community-centered student dormitory life. Interns are generally responsible for a minimum of one night of dormitory duty per week, and one weekend per month.
• Extracurricular Activities: Interns are expected to participate in the school’s extracurricular activities (e.g. athletics, student clubs, community service, and the arts).
