About the Role (Responsibilities)
As one of the three pillars of our program (Academics, Arts, and Athletics), TEP is deeply committed to building a classroom culture that fosters a genuine love for math and a positive attitude towards learning.
English Language Arts (ELA) teachers at The Equity Project inspire a love for language arts among middle school students with theme-based close-reading units that incorporate novels, non-fiction texts, and poetry. Independent reading is emphasized throughout the school - with robust classroom libraries in all subject areas (from ELA to Science to Music). Writing instruction is focused around developing key analytical skills while fostering critical thinking, and preparing our students to clearly communicate and advocate in their own authentic voices.
As one of The Equity Project's middle school English Language Arts teachers, you will lead teach students on your grade-level for 90 minutes of English Language Arts each day, building deep connections with students that support student learning and development. English Language Arts teachers collaborate with co-teachers to facilitate lesson plans that include small-group instruction and individualized feedback to support student achievement and progress in reading and writing.

one subject to one grade level
in any given year, but may switch grade levels and/or subjects from one year to the next.
