Teaching Fellow

Join Our Community of Talented Educators Our teachers are the foundation of our students’ success. We hire teachers who are passionate about the subjects they teach and are ready to extend that enthusiasm to their students. Our teachers support one another and work together as a team to ensure students are receiving high quality, globally competitive education. Types of Teaching Positions Subject Expert Teacher Subject Expert Teachers (SETs) specialize in a particular area of interest. SETs use their passion for their subjects to inspire students while teaching them at a higher level than what is typically expected for each grade level. From grades 1–3, SETs co-teach with a Learning Expert Teacher. From grades 4 onward, SETs are the primary instructors for their course. Learning Expert Teacher Present in grades 1–3 classrooms, Learning Expert Teachers (LETs) are specialists in pedagogy. They monitor students’ academic progress and support their socioemotional growth. LETs accompany their students from class to class, co-teaching with the Subject Expert Teachers and providing differentiated instruction to students. Kindergarten Expert Teachers lead our kindergarten classrooms and are responsible for delivering engaging lessons to their students. Our kindergarten program is primarily self-enclosed, meaning that students remain in one classroom throughout the school day. The Kindergarten Expert Teacher works collaboratively with a Teaching Fellow to co-teach all core subjects. Kindergarten Teaching Fellows assist with all aspects of lessons and learning in our kindergarten classrooms, working under the mentorship of the Kindergarten Expert Teacher. They build and maintain a positive learning environment for our students. What Our Teachers Say “I’m finding that students at BASIS are excited to be at BASIS. They are excited to learn. They’re ready to learn. They want to give their best effort. And that’s not something you’ll find everywhere.” "My students have hit a critical mass. They are not necessarily smarter than other students, but they are willing to work harder. They are competitive, but they challenge and support each other." TJ Peacher Subject Expert Teacher, BASIS Scottsdale “I worked in a public school for five years, and left because I felt frustrated. I was told to do things in my classroom that I did not feel were the best use of my students’ precious time. Today, my students are fully engaged in learning from bell to bell." "The fact that we set such high expectations from the beginning and do not back down from them is one of the reasons why BASIS Charter Schools have been able to succeed. Students will always respond to the level of expectations you set for them. If you set low expectations, that’s all they will achieve. If you set a high bar, they will climb that high.” Kevin Matthews Subject Expert Teacher, BASIS Tucson North “I like the kids here, I really do. We’ve got bright kids who work hard and are able to master advanced skills and abilities. They rise up quickly when they are instructed well and challenged.” Ron Thrasher Subject Expert Teacher, BASIS Peoria “My favorite part of teaching at BASIS Charter Schools is seeing the children progress and grow every year. I get motivated and excited every year to create fun activities for the kids. I love seeing their curiosity and creativity.” Adette Sulit Kindergarten Expert Teacher, BASIS Scottsdale Primary East “I’m finding that students at BASIS are excited to be at BASIS. They are excited to learn. They’re ready to learn. They want to give their best effort. And that’s not something you’ll find everywhere.” "My students have hit a critical mass. They are not necessarily smarter than other students, but they are willing to work harder. They are competitive, but they challenge and support each other."
