Employment Opportunities

Whitfield School, an innovative educational institution for students in grades 6-12, seeks to welcome an Upper School science teacher to a community that emphasizes college prep through character education. Teachers at Whitfield actively engage with—and learn from—colleagues on a daily basis, thrive on the opportunity to co-create an equitable and inclusive environment alongside a diverse student body, and apply research-based best practices in their classrooms day in and day out.

This position is for the 2022-2023 academic year (start date August 1, 2022).

In addition to demonstrating a passion for this work, ideal candidates will:

• Have a demonstrated ability to collaborate with colleagues

• Have both a depth and breadth of knowledge regarding an upper school science curriculum - including coursework for biology and chemistry

• Have a demonstrated ability to differentiate instruction - especially with 9th,10th and 11th grade students

• Have a pedagogical approach that emphasizes project-based teaching and learning and hands-on, real-world science skill acquisition  

Professional expectations include:

• Make both classroom and on-line labs and demonstrations ongoing components of the science curriculum.

• Integrate Habits of Mind and Heart, Whitfield’s social-emotional and character education framework, across all school programming and experiences.

• Leverage diversity, equity, and inclusion through culturally competent teaching and embracing the diversity of our student body. 

• Managing a grade-level advisory, which meets several times a week and serves as the foundation of the school’s teacher-student-family relationship.

• Technology integration through Whitfield’s learning management system (Blackbaud ON) and industry-leading 1:1 laptop program (Microsoft Surface Pro).

• Commitment to students beyond the classroom through athletics or extracurricular activities, school event participation, and before/after school “open door” availability.
