Job Description

BelovED Community Charter School is hiring a High School Social Studies Teacher for the 23-24 School Year.

Mission Statement

At its core, the mission of the _ BelovED High School Humanities Department _ is to provide a comprehensive curriculum that is based upon research and best practices, ensuring that students become critical thinkers, proficient readers, expressive writers and communicators in order to promote the literacy skills and concepts required for success in an ever evolving global and technological world.

  • The staffing of our afterschool program by Academic Tutors, so we can limit the length of our teachers’ work-days;
  • Abundant planning periods that provide teachers an opportunity to prepare up-coming lessons during the school day.
