6th-8th Grade Language Arts Teacher

Job Overview
Family Lyceum, a private school that honors God, Family, and Country, is seeking a talented, passionate Lead Teacher/Mentor for Middle School 6-8th grade Language Arts position. Mentors do more than teach; they connect personally with each student and help them individualize their education. Mentors teach a homeroom style class of 12-18 students, teaching in several subject areas and collaborating with other mentors to create lessons and activities around a history-based curriculum. Most subjects connect to the historical time period--math, science, social studies, language arts, music, dance, art, etc. Applicants should be expert in at least two of these areas and excited to learn about everything. In the classroom we encourage creativity, hands-on learning, simulations, projects, and a variety of real-life experiences. We are looking for mentors who absolutely love what they teach, care deeply about the students, and believe in a higher purpose for education. Teaching certification is not required, but teaching experience is preferred. Lead teacher pay starts at $30/hr or about $225/day.

• Assess and evaluate student performance through various methods, including tests, projects, and observations.

• Collaborate with colleagues to develop curriculum materials and share best practices.
• Provide early intervention strategies for students who require additional support.
• Communicate regularly with parents regarding student progress and classroom activities.
• Adapt teaching methods to accommodate diverse learning styles and special education needs.

Skills

• Experience working with children in an educational setting is essential.
• Strong background in tutoring or providing individualized instruction is preferred.
• Proficiency in curriculum development to create effective learning experiences.
• Familiarity with private school settings is a plus.
• Knowledge of literacy education techniques to enhance reading and writing skills.
• Experience in lesson planning that meets the needs of all students, including those requiring special education services.
