Overview:
The mission of Sojourner Truth PCSis to empower students to transform the world. Students at Truth will graduate ready for success in college, career, and life. They will serve as active agents in the construction of peace. They will know who they are, what they want, and where they are going. They can walk into any space, find their place, and make a powerful contribution. Truth achieves this vision through a Montessori education built upon student-led classrooms with a learning environment deliberately designed to enable student engagement in meaningful, authentic work and to foster a close-knit community where students pursue justice and practice stewardship.
During SY2023-24, Truth will serve a diverse population of 6th-10th grade students in Washington, DC. Over the next two years, Truth will grow to serve students across 6th-12th grades.
Position:
The Sojourner Truth School is an established and successful middle and high school that is growing and seeking a motivated and innovative Social Studies teacher to help us continue to build our high school program.
Truth is seeking a teacher proficient in not only High School World History I and II content and instruction but also Advanced Placement (AP) content. Candidates should be excited to serve not only as a content teacher but also as a mentor and learning coach in an environment fostering student self-direction. Applicants should be inspired by and aligned to Truth’s mission, and excited by the opportunity to expand their influence and the role of the teacher by guiding students through goal-setting, the creation of learning plans, and reflection. Truth strongly believes in the expertise and abilities of its teachers, and also that a culturally responsive and culturally sustaining curriculum should be created by those who work in the community and understand the interests and needs of the students therein. To this end, teachers at Truth contribute significantly to the curriculum design process.
Truth also has a co-teaching model where teachers work in close collaboration to manage tasks and instruction, and the flow of students from one lesson to another.
Teachers, like all other staff, should be fully invested in Truth’s two Design Principles:
Students need to be prepared for life, not just for school.
Each student’s identity, voice, perspectives, and choices matter.
Responsibilities:
Content Expert with Curriculum Design Skills
Reflective Practitioner
Learning Coach
