Required Education:
Tabor Academy is seeking a dedicated English teacher to join our English Department. This position will be responsible for teaching 4 sections of English classes, likely 9th and 11th grades. Tabor English courses cultivate the language skills essential to leading vital, engaging lives in the 21st century. Our seminar-style classes prioritize student involvement and discussion, both of which are essential to developing critical thinkers and readers. Students develop and refine their writing process at every grade level, with emphasis on analytical, personal, and argumentative writing. In our English classes, students also refine their communication skills during student-led discussions and through presentations. As a residential school, Tabor considers the work of faculty broadly. At our best, we engage with students both in and out of the classroom. Faculty members at Tabor can expect to be responsible for weekly evening and monthly weekend supervisory duties and to be responsible for contributing to the life of the school for two seasons in the co-curricular and/or athletic program.

- model flexibility in both implementing best learning practices and pursuing success for each student
- possess a high degree of cultural competency and demonstrated experience working with diverse populations and perspectives
- demonstrate fluency with academic technology that advances learning for students and a willingness to integrate technology into classroom experiences
- enjoy collaborating with colleagues within and across subject areas, and throughout multiple aspects of school life
- invest in the community and participate in the lives of our students outside of the classroom
