What are the responsibilities and job description for the Middle School Teacher position at Redbridge?
We are looking to hire an experienced Middle School teacher either as a Learning Guide or a Content Specialist.
The Learning Guide role is similar to a homeroom teacher and will meet with middle schoolers individually each week to support them in their academic and social development. This is a perfect role for someone who enjoys mentoring students (middle schoolers in particular) and wants to be part of developing curriculum around work habits, character habits and project-based learning.
The Content Specialist will lead instruction for students working at a 6th and / or 7th-grade level in Reading, Writing, Math, Critical Thinking & World Studies, or Observation (Art / Science). The specific content area(s) will be based on the candidate's prior experience and interest. This teaching role will work with students in small groups (~12-15 students).
Red Bridge does not group students by grade level, but by Autonomy Level. Each Autonomy Level spans about three years of age difference. For academics, students are grouped based on skill level in the subject area rather than their Autonomy Level.
The Middle School teacher will be responsible for designing curriculum, planning instruction, collaborating with the Red Bridge teaching team, observing and taking notes on students, regular assessment of student achievement and progress, and coordinating with teachers and parents as necessary to discuss student progress. This is a full-time position reporting to the Head of School. Applicants for this role should have deep experience in content area instruction at a Middle School level, a passion for one or more of the subject areas above, and enthusiasm for the special developmental stage of Middle School.
Qualifications
Ideal candidates will have :
at least 5 years of experience working with similar-age students
a master's degree in a relevant field
a passion for working with middle school students
a desire to be part of building a new model of education focused on student agency
