Position Description:

Trinity Valley School seeks a full-time history teacher to join the Upper School faculty beginning in the 2023-2024 school year.

The History Department at Trinity Valley School:

The history department at Trinity Valley School seeks applicants who bring passion for teaching history; eagerness to build meaningful, caring relationships with adolescents; and enthusiasm for professional learning and growth.

The department is a team of creative instructional designers who utilize a range of pedagogical techniques designed to further develop students as intelligent citizens who think critically and analytically through the study of past and present.

TVS welcomes candidates who are capable and comfortable teaching history courses across the Upper School curriculum. TVS graduation requirements invite students to choose history electives; therefore, candidates should be enthusiastic about designing semester-long elective courses that would complement the department's robust set of offerings.

TVS appreciates that teaching excellence comes in many forms. Above all, the school seeks candidates who love working with young people and place students at the heart of their instructional practice. TVS welcomes candidates who are both comfortable serving as advisors to groups of 10-12 Upper School students and willing to engage in campus life through coaching, volunteering with Trojan Outdoor Experience (TOE), leading students on Trojans Abroad Programs, and/or directing co-curricular clubs and programs.

Knowledge, Experience, and Skill Requirements:

The ideal candidate will:

• Hold a master's degree in history or related field(master's preferred; not required).
• Have teaching experience in history, ideally in independent schools.
• Have the flexibility to teach across the history curriculum (9-12); experience in teaching electives within a range of social science disciplines, especially Government or Economics, is a plus.
• Have experience and interest in designing innovative approaches to teaching and learning in the history classroom.
• Fully support the four main objectives of the TVS Mission Statement.
• Recognize, embrace, and advance institutional goals for Equity, Inclusion, and Community.
• Create and promote inclusive learning spaces in which all students feel safe, honored, appreciated, and respected for who they are.
• Nurture a deep feeling of community through actions and attitudes.
• Balance caring and flexibility while holding students to high expectations.
• Exemplify personal and professional integrity.
• Work collaboratively, communicate effectively, and seek continued growth as life-long learners.
