Why Work Here |
Anna Julia Cooper, our namesake, once wrote, “Not far from the kindergarten age I decided upon my career. I feel the vocation for which I was prepared was the education of neglected people. Teaching has always seemed to me the noblest of callings and presents a stronger appeal than money.” She went on to add, “To me life has meant a big opportunity and I am thankful that my work has always been the sort that beckoned me on, leaving no room for blasé philosophizing and rebellious resentment and with just enough opposition to give zest to the struggle, just enough hope of scoring somewhere among the winners to keep my head ‘unbowed tho bloody.’” At AJC, we try to keep her spirit alive in our work with low-income families in Richmond’s East End. We’re always looking for individuals who are moved by her same spirit to consider joining our 'community of affection.' Don't ever hesitate to reach out.
Title: Lead Teacher (6th Grade English & Geography)
Reports to: Principal
The position of Lead Teacher is without equal in the School. Students will look to you for knowledge and understanding. However, they will also look to see how you act, speak, carry yourself, care or do not care for them and your colleagues, and relate to the larger world. They will look to see whether you incarnate, however imperfectly, the School’s expressed belief that being a community of affection is at the heart of who we are and aspire to be.
Teachers are expected to possess a solid understanding of their content area and to set a high personal standard as instructors. They are also expected to possess a deep understanding of the whole child and thus help teach and facilitate their students’ social and emotional growth.
Teachers should pay particular attention to the Principal’s (or LS Principal’s) directions and expressed desires, and strive to work as closely and collegially with her or him as possible.
Teachers are strongly encouraged to pursue professional development in their respective areas.
Teachers will work with the Director of Curriculum and Instructional Support on specific goals they have outlined at the beginning of each school year.
This is a full-time position with full coverage of medical, dental, vision, short & long-term disability, life & 401K at no charge to the employee. Additional benefits available with employee deductions.
