POSITION SUMMARY:

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.

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.

• 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 all aspects of school life.
• Invest in the community and participate in the lives of our students outside of the classroom.
