Humanities Instructor

Position Overview Culver Academies is seeking a humanities instructor to join our professional community. The humanities department offers three years of core interdisciplinary instruction covering ancient to medieval perspectives in ninth grade, European and modern world perspectives in tenth grade, and American perspectives in eleventh grade. The department also provides a wide range of elective offerings in literature, composition, and the social sciences, as well as robust honors seminar experiences and Advanced Placement options. Responsibilities Instructors teach two 80‑minute blocks each day on a 4x4 block schedule, with an average class size of fifteen. They collaborate weekly with colleagues teaching the same course, considering what content is covered and how best to teach academic skills. Weekly departmental meetings discuss initiatives across grade levels, and all humanities instructors attend monthly campus‑wide interdisciplinary learning community meetings. Instructors engage students outside the classroom through athletics or residential life and are expected to be a regular part of students’ lives. Professional Development Professional development is available and includes traditional off‑campus workshops, conferences, graduate work, research with students or colleagues, faculty‑developed curriculum projects, and on‑campus teacher forums for learning support and educational technology. Qualifications Successful candidates will have a commitment to fostering belonging and inclusion in concert with Culver’s student‑generated Diversity Statement. Candidates aligned with Culver’s Teaching and Learning Model and the Commitments of a Culver Educator are encouraged to apply.
