Job Description

BelovED Community Charter School is hiring a High School Social Studies Teacher for the 23-24 School Year.

Mission Statement

At its core, the mission of the BelovED High School Humanities Department is to provide a comprehensive curriculum that is based upon research and best practices, ensuring that students become critical thinkers, proficient readers, expressive writers and communicators in order to promote the literacy skills and concepts required for success in an ever evolving global and technological world.

Goals

BelovED’s High School Humanities Curriculum blends the conceptual learning of history, English and current events with core literacy skills and is designed to ensure that students read and understand a variety of complex texts across multiple genres such as poetry, myths, realistic fiction, historical fiction, speeches, dramas, literary criticism, letters, speeches, articles, short stories, and more. These varied texts allow students to encounter new perspectives, rethink ideas, and deepen their understanding of the world, while acquiring relevant content knowledge through the infusion of historical context.

Our goal is to provide students with quality, rigorous instruction that encourages them to become critical and creative thinkers through culturally relevant texts and learning experiences that help them gain the competencies needed to become change agents within their larger communities.
