Head Teachers are responsible for all classroom duties, both academic and organizational. These responsibilities include: planning and teaching curriculum, facilitating classroom management procedures, observing and assessing students’ progress, and communicating with parents, faculty, and administration. Head Teachers are responsible for keeping support staff abreast of students’ progress. Head Teachers facilitate parent-teacher conferences, which often include the students, and prepare written comments that are mailed home twice a year. They attend faculty meetings, grade level meetings, and confer with colleagues regarding teaching and strategies. Head Teachers have lunch, recess, and porch duty responsibilities. Head Teachers are responsible for completing a Meaningful Faculty Evaluation plan and working on these goals with the Division Head. They are responsible for informing the Division Head of supplies that need to be ordered for the classroom. In the event of a known absence, Head Teachers need to leave appropriate lesson plans for the Associate or substitute teacher. Head Teachers need to be attuned to the needs of their students. In support of The Cathedral School's mission, they must be prepared to view curriculum and classroom and school culture through a lens focused on equity and justice. A nurturing and caring personality is essential. Please send a cover letter and resume to Laura Higgins, lhiggins@cathedralnyc.org. No calls, please. |
