Long-Term Substitute Middle School History Teacher

at  The Providence Country Day School

Providence Country Day School, an independent school serving students in grades PK-12, seeks a dynamic, versatile educator who will serve as a long-term substitute history teacher for three Middle School History courses.
PCD’s Middle School History curriculum focuses heavily on the writing process and the use and analysis of primary and secondary sources. Our 8th graders spend the majority of the school year focusing on United States History, with particular units on local Rhode Island history, utilizing field trips and other local resources to make the course come alive. Our History teachers are expected to teach multiple forms of sources from a diverse collection of authors, periods, and genres as well as experience teaching in a creative, differentiated, forward thinking way. The ideal candidate would be a versatile educator qualified to teach History at the 8th grade level. This teacher should plan to be part of a collaborative faculty team; and an integral component of students’ lives, in the classroom, as a department member, and possibly as an advisor. Candidates should be collaborative team players with strong interpersonal and communication skills and a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in the classroom and the workplace. Experience with, or background in, project-based learning, inquiry-based learning, and differentiated instruction are desired.
Qualified candidates will have a bachelor’s degree (or higher). PCD students use technology in a variety of ways in every discipline. Use of Google Classroom and the Google Education tools, participating in the advisory program, and committing to on-going education and innovation are required professional standards. In addition to teaching, additional opportunities may exist for this position to impact the lives of students through club leadership, coaching, learning center tutoring or other extracurricular activities.
Candidates of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and bilingual candidates are encouraged to apply. We strive to have a team that reflects the diversity of our students and families. It is important to us that our students can see themselves in the adults that surround them each day. PCD is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
Interested candidates should submit a resume, cover letter, and three references to Jennifer Caletri, Head of Middle School, at caletri@providencecountryday.org
