At KIPP St. Louis High School, the Global Studies and Psychology Teacher brings a passion for history, culture, and the human mind into the classroom. This role empowers students to see how their lives connect to the broader fabric of the past and the world around them. By teaching global studies, you will help students explore diverse cultures, societies, and historical movements, while psychology instruction will invite them to examine human behavior, thought processes, and identity. Together, these subjects serve as a pathway to deepen students’ critical thinking, strengthen their ability to analyze and persuade, and ensure that every student sees themselves reflected in both history and the study of human experience.Start Date: Immediate OpeningOn a day-to-day basis, you can look forward to the following:Curriculum Development and InstructionAdapt and execute a rigorous, standards-aligned curriculum Develop academically rigorous lessons, unit plans, rubrics, and assessments Use data to inform instructional decisions Provide students with daily feedback on performance and plan for individual learning needsHelp Build a Positive School and Classroom CultureEmbody and maintain school’s values, policies, and culture Develop positive relationships with students, families, teachers, and staff Establish and maintain strong communication with all parents and share progress Effectively supervise and manage a classroom of up to 30 students Show up for critical school events, including staff meetings, open houses, parent-teacher conferences, and moreDemonstrate a Growth MindsetPursue challenging professional goals each yearGive and receive positive and constructive feedback from your colleaguesParticipate in school-wide and individual professional developmentSchool-Based Staff must have the ability toOperate a computer and office equipment on a daily basisOccasional moderate lifting, pushing, and pullingMaintain emotional control under stressInterpret policy, procedures, and dataCommunicate effectively (verbal and written)
