Middle School Humanities Teacher
LREI
Details
LREI (Little Red School House & Elisabeth Irwin High School) seeks educators committed to exploring progressive pedagogy. Candidates with diverse experiences are encouraged to apply. The school is seeking Middle School Teachers for Grades 5 through 8 for the 2018-2019 school year, beginning September 1, 2018
Overview of Position LREI seeks a full time Middle School Humanities Teacher to support the progressive integration of language arts and social studies content and skills. The candidate is responsible for teaching both subjects and for planning collaboratively with her/his grade level partner. Each grade level humanities pair seeks out opportunities for team teaching and works with grade level teachers of other disciplines on integrated projects. Candidates will also be asked to serve as an advisor for a group of middle school students. Successful LREI teachers are lifelong learners who are reflective about their practice, find ways to bring ‘real life’ into their classroom including current events, the neighborhood and the city, and seek out professional development and leadership opportunities.
Qualifications Sought
Overview of School Founded in 1921 by Elisabeth Irwin (a contemporary and colleague of John Dewey, Caroline Pratt, and Lucy Sprague Mitchell), the school has been at the vanguard of pedagogical innovation since its founding. LREI’s goal is to educate students to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners and to pursue academic excellence and individual achievement, in a context of respect for others and service to the community. We believe that learning should be active and experiential, with the school providing abundant opportunities for students to excel. We accept students with a range of abilities and talents who can take full advantage of a rich and demanding academic program in which each student is both challenged and supported. We seek to create within the school a community built on understanding and respecting others. Thus, our student body traditionally reflects the racial and cultural diversity of our city, and our curriculum is built on inter-disciplinary studies to promote understanding of many cultures. While individual achievement is encouraged and rewarded, our program underscores the value of shared goals, friendship and cooperation in mastering difficult tasks. The progressive ideals that in 1921 gave life and inspiration to the school — academic excellence and creativity, active learning and innovative teaching, respect for the individual and responsibility to the community-continue to guide the school today. LREI is located in vibrant Greenwich Village and classes venture forth often to use the neighborhood and the city to provide rich learning experiences.
To apply, candidates should email a statement of interest and resume to the Middle School Principal, Ana Chaney at achaney@lrei.org indicating MS Humanities Teacher in the subject line. No telephone inquiries please.
