What is the High School English Teacher Role?

As a literature teacher at Brooke High School, you set the tone for student growth and learning. You are the leader of your classroom and build strong relationships with students in order to push them to be their best selves both academically and personally. You crave feedback, think deeply about instruction to ensure student mastery of critical college-level reading and writing skills, and collaborate with colleagues in order to meet the needs of every student. To that end, you will take part in regular data meetings, engage in approximately 20 administrative observations, and participate in nearly 300 hours of professional development over the course of the school year.

Hours for this role are 7:45 am-4:00 pm daily. You will partner with other ELA teachers to refine and teach the entire curriculum in reading and writing. In this role you will teach multiple ELA classes and also serve as an advisor; advisors mentor students, communicate with families, and share information about colleges and character education. In addition, this role may include teaching an AP class, which would require you to attend AP-specific training to support high-level academic instruction. You may also choose to lead an after-school club or coach a sport for an additional stipend.
