Job Description

Tilton School faculty design learning experiences that build the essential student skills and sensibilities they will need to be life-ready. As such, we seek a compelling, passionate, and visionary educator to teach four-five sections of History in our Humanities Division. Humanities courses at Tilton center on critical thinking, reading, writing, and discussion skills.  Students emerge as critical and creative problem solvers, able to apply these human dimensions and dynamics to current events. Empowered in this way, our students cultivate a nuanced, global, and well-informed world view. As a residential school, Tilton considers the work of faculty broadly, and we engage with students both during and beyond the academic day. Faculty at Tilton can expect to contribute two seasons in the co-curricular and/or athletic program and to be responsible for weekly evening and monthly weekend supervisory duties. This position can include housing.

This position must be combined with coaching roles in varsity field hockey or varsity girls soccer in the fall and varsity girls lacrosse in the spring.

• Possess an understanding of current teaching pedagogies and adolescent development.
• 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.
