Cheshire Academy seeks a full-time English teacher for the upcoming 2023-24 academic year.

Cheshire Academy is a dynamic work environment and a school that values flexibility, support, and growth for both students and colleagues. An ability to differentiate instruction and work with students of varying learning strengths is key. We focus on students becoming increasingly independent, reflective, and agentic learners.

In addition to original language and literature courses across the curriculum, Cheshire Academy offers IB English Literature, IB English Language & Literature, and IB English Literature & Performance as part of the International Baccalaureate diploma program. Experience with the IB is therefore a plus. Ideal candidates will also embrace an antiracist and inclusive mindset, demonstrate a commitment to education for global citizenship, and be excited about transforming curriculum and instruction to meet the needs of today’s learners.

Candidates should value a discussion-based classroom, possess a willingness to try out new and diverse texts, and approach the teaching of writing through individualized feedback over multiple drafts and revisions.

Other responsibilities include:

• Advising;
• Coaching and/or leading cocurricular activities;
• Weekend team responsibilities;
• Residential/dormitory duties (if housing is provided.)
• Must have a valid driver’s license with the ability to obtain a CT “A” endorsement for purposes of transporting students.

While there are other ways to contribute to the cocurricular program, current coaching needs that we are looking to fill include:

• Head Varsity Boys Lacrosse
• Head Varsity Girls Lacrosse
• Assistant Varsity Girls Soccer

School provided housing is not guaranteed for the academic year of 2023-2024.

Minimally, this candidate will have a Bachelor’s Degree in English or a related subject. A Master’s degree, teaching credentials, and/or relevant teaching experience are preferred.
