Teaching Faculty - Resume Collection

Emma Willard School seeks to create a roster of passionate and creative teachers who would be interested in delivering the mission [https://www.emmawillard.org/about/mission-and-vision] of Emma Willard School.

Our teachers are committed to collaboration with colleagues, ongoing engagement with professional learning to deepen both content expertise and pedagogical depth and breadth, and the use of a variety of teaching strategies in the classroom that instill in our students the “habits of an intellectual life.” Our teachers are supported in their work by collaborative department cultures, a welcoming community, and professional learning opportunities offered by our Center for Teaching & Learning.

Faculty

will collaborate regularly with other teachers of all levels to ensure an integrated and cohesive curriculum while using the Emma Willard School academic program pillars [https://www.emmawillard.org/academics/program-pillars] of intellectual flexibility, purpose and community, and equity and justice as a guide. Additionally, the instructor will be encouraged to use creative and innovative teaching practices; our faculty use a variety of tools and techniques, including but not limited to experiential learning and reflection practices, to engage students in deep learning. Dedication to the holistic wellness of students is essential, as is the ability and comfort in frequent communication with students’ advisors and parents. Emma Willard School faculty regularly participate in community-wide professional development and each faculty member works with their department chair to develop a plan for their personal professional growth.

As a boarding school, Emma Willard asks all teachers to contribute to the overall life of the school. These responsibilities will include helping with dorm life and co-curricular activities (e.g. coaching, after school physical education, advising a student activity group, etc) that fill the needs of the school and, ideally, intersect with the interest or expertise of the instructor.

We seek to collect resumes from individuals who are committed to and willing to navigate today’s changing and diverse landscape. This individual will help the school promote and nurture diversity, equity, and inclusion. The School encourages candidates from under-represented groups and individuals who have demonstrated experience with diverse populations who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through their research, teaching, and/or service to apply.
