St. Andrew's Episcopal School is seeking an Upper School English teacher (grades 9-12) for a full-time, permanent position in our English department starting in August 2021. The successful candidate will teach departmental offerings from the introductory to advanced levels and collaborate to develop and modify our English curriculum. Beyond relevant credentials and experience, successful candidates should love working with high school age students, demonstrate a creative and engaging instructional style, and value the development of the whole student. All teachers at St. Andrew’s are responsible for advancing the School’s mission and its commitment to fostering an inclusive and richly diverse community environment.

At St. Andrew's, we believe in the importance of multi-contextual relationships as foundations for learning. In addition to teaching duties, faculty members are broadly involved with school life, coaching a sport or an equivalent contribution to the School, such as advising an extracurricular activity or sponsoring a student organization. Each faculty member also serves as an advisor to several students. 

To be considered for this position at St. Andrew's, we ask that candidates submit a resume. In place of a cover letter, we ask applicants to submit written responses to two of the three questions at the bottom of this page. Please submit your resume and written responses to the questions to Michelle Roe, Director of Finance & Human Resources, at hr@sasaustin.org.

1. The work of diversity, equity, and inclusion, like all noble endeavors, is a never-ending journey. As it relates to your experience in schools, what is the most important thing that you have learned along your DEI journey?
2. As an Episcopal school, St. Andrew's seeks to nurture the development of the whole child, body, mind, and spirit, and to balance faith and reason, the head and the heart, in the learning process. This Episcopal ethos takes shape in things like daily chapel, service learning, DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), and SEL (Social and Emotional Learning). What, if anything, attracts you to working in an educational community that embraces a holistic approach to learning and formation?
3. What do you most strive to impart to the English students you teach, and what is a concrete example of an assignment or activity you've introduced that has helped individuals in your class grow? Please walk us through your approach to guiding students through this assignment or activity.
