Cheshire Academy seeks an experienced, collaborative, and energetic teacher to join the English Department for the upcoming 2020-21 academic year.

Cheshire Academy is a dynamic work environment. The school values flexibility and support from its teachers. An ability to differentiate instruction and work with students of varying learning strengths is key. Our academic vision focuses on students becoming increasingly independent at observing, explaining, interpreting, analyzing, and reflecting on the world around them.

Candidates must have a strong academic and/or professional teaching background in teaching English language learners, with a preference for experience teaching students whose home language is Mandarin or another East Asian tongue. The Academy’s diverse student body has a large percentage of international students for whom English is not their native language, so candidates who are CELTA or TESOL certified, or equivalent, are strongly preferred.

Ideal candidates will also have experience or familiarity with the International Baccalaureate Program, as all Cheshire Academy students take an IB course during their Junior and Senior years, and the IB’s pedagogical philosophy forms the backbone of our teaching across all grade levels.

Minimally, this candidate will have a Bachelor’s Degree in English or related field.  A Master’s Degree is preferred.

Other responsibilities include:

• Advising;
• Coaching and/or leading extra-curricular activities;
