R esponsibilities
- Teach in person from July to August 2026 and be available for office hours, study hall, faculty meetings, and parent-teacher meetings. The role entails 5 weeks at a day school in NYC and 1 week at a boarding school in MA, for which Oliver Scholars will provide transportation and room & board.
- Perform co-curricular duties, including planning and supervising field trips, teaching non-credit electives, facilitating recreational activities, and supervising dormitories.
- Use the Oliver Scholars course description and pedagogy to design a high school Philosophy (Part I: Logic and Part II: Ethics) curriculum including syllabus, lesson plans, assignments, readings, and tests/quizzes. The Logic module must be taught ahead of the Ethics module to ensure a strong logical reasoning foundation not impacted by the emotion and bias that might accompany topics discussed in the Ethics module. The Philosophy course will progress from completing problem sets , to writing short essays that analyze current events through the lens of philosophical frameworks and then writing long essays that use history as a context for philosophical writing.
- The Logic module introduces logic and the philosophical study of language. Some of the questions raised are: How do we commonly think? What is thinking correctly? What is the difference between a good argument and a flawed one? What are the common fallacies of thought that often mislead us? What are the limitations of formal logic? Can we think without the rules of logic? What is meaning and the truth about truth? The module stresses the development of individual and collaborative skills in evaluating information. It includes a critical examination of the patterns of thought one encounters daily in magazines, newspapers, and television.
- The Ethics module is an introduction to various approaches to ethical reflection. Using classical texts, personal and literary stories, and video clips from TV shows and the news, students will develop a common vocabulary to understand and critically evaluate their moral experience. They will apply the logical reasoning skills acquired during the Logic module to ethical discussions and arguments, and they will learn and apply in making sense of their own moral experience the essential characteristics of the most prominent approaches to ethical thought in the philosophical tradition.
- The instructor will teach and require using MLA writing format and citations. The instructor will also incorporate AI (e.g., ChatGPT) as a learning tool for students to appreciate that education is a process-oriented undertaking that entails struggle and use of analytical resources, not a product-oriented undertaking focused on neatly delivering an answer.
- Write detailed Interim and Final Evaluation Reports.
- Team with tutors, counselors, and Oliver Scholars leadership to instruct and support students
- Attend a paid instructor orientation.
- Attend weekly faculty meetings.
- Participate in parent-teacher conferences.

- Ethics - Treats people with respect; Keeps commitments; inspires the trust of others; works with integrity and ethically; upholds organizational values.
- Adaptability - Adapts to changes in the work environment; willing to learn new techniques and procedures; Manages competing demands; changes approach or method to best fit the situation; able to deal with frequent change, delays, or unexpected events.
