WILLIAMSBURG CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL - Certified Teacher WCHS’s powerful educational program enables every student to graduate well-prepared for college and the world beyond it. Most importantly, all WCHS students mature intellectually, socially, and morally as a result of being an active member of a school community that endorses high expectations that challenge each student to achieve his/her full potential. In order to fulfil its mission, WCHS is looking for exceptional teachers. Our teachers play very critical roles in realising the core mission, philosophy, and unique youth-centered approach to the school’s educational design. WCHS teachers are not just classroom teachers, but school teachers—educators that are committed to facilitating the entire learning and instructional process and coaching young people to become independent learners, thinkers, and researchers. Prospective Williamsburg Charter High School Teachers: Are committed to the idea that every child can succeed at high levels Believe that they have been called to teach and empower young people Demonstrate a commitment to providing students with a rigorous academic experience Are resilient, resourceful, relentless, and well-able to adapt to the many changes that can happen in an organization focused solely on doing what is best for students Excel at working in a highly collaborative, professional setting but can also work independently Understand the unique needs of the community they serve as well as the complex issues that affect urban youth and their families Are committed to inquiry-based teaching Engage a youth development approach in their interactions with young people by being sensitive to their developmental needs Are passionate and positive about school culture Feel full responsibility for students’ achievement Love ‘the details’ and realise that student success depends almost exclusively on them Are reflective and willing to improve upon their practice through professional development and support Effectively manage their time, resources, and technology Are convinced of the transformative power of education for all students, families, and educators Position Description The ideal Williamsburg Charter High School teacher will provide our students with rigorous instruction. They will be responsible for the following: Teacher as Advisor As students transition to high school, one of the things they could lose is the comfort of having a teacher who understands their background, challenges, and successes. Research has shown that this relationship is a key part of having students feel accounted for and by extension, accountable. In support of our students, our teachers are also Advisors to between 12-15 students for the duration of their high school career. This allows the teacher to become a part of the developmental process of their students and allows each family to have a primary contact within the school at all times. Advisors serve students and families by: Taking complete ownership of the academic, behavioral, and overall success of a group of 12-15 students Ensuring advisees are in attendance, punctual, excelling in all their classes, and seeking out appropriate support Creating an advisory period that acts as ‘home base’ for each student Being the academic expert on each advisee Acting as the liaise between the student, the family, and the school teams Teaching the advisory curriculum that has been created for their advisees’ grade Accompanying advisees on educational field trips as determined by the School Leader Contacting their advisee’s families a minimum of seven times a year and responding within 24 hours to all communications from their advisee’s families Developing and overseeing Individual Student Support Plan plans twice a year for each of their advisees Facilitating discipline-related required meetings on behalf of their advisees Performing any other advisor-related duties as requested Ensuring Student Learning Through Data-driven Instruction: Prepare rigorous, student-centered lesson plans that will engage and motivate students to learn Plan standards-based units of study with clear, intended outcomes and goals in mind Provide meaningful feedback on student work to determine student progress and to make suggestions for improvement Proactively and relentlessly seek new ways to promote student learning Create thoughtful, standards-based assessments Work closely with school leaders and colleagues, using data to drive instruction and by extension, consistently raising student achievement and intervening with improvement plans and support for struggling students Have fun and pass the love of learning onto students!

Even with these times parameters in mind, we ultimately seek educators that will simply do whatever it takes and will work relentlessly to ensure each student’s learning is maximized Teach four class periods per school day Serve two periods of School Service per week as determined by his/her supervisor (e.g., Study Hall supervision, cafeteria duty, hallway duty, monitoring of student entry and exit, etc.) Cover at least five periods per semester for absent teachers Proactively involve the student’s family in their learning through regular communications including (but not limited to): weekly informal communication via emails, notes, telephone calls, and meetings Realise that although student achievement is central to our work, Williamsburg Charter High School graduates are not just academically well-prepared, but also good citizens of their community.
