JOB DESCRIPTION FOR

UPPER SCHOOL TEACHER

Classification : Exempt

Reports To : Head of the Schools of Logic and Rhetoric

Purpose

The purpose of this position is to educate upper school students (6th through 12th grades) using classical methods and a biblical worldview in order to prepare students with excellence to diligently pursue God’s truth, knowledge and wisdom in order to winsomely and persuasively communicate their thoughts both orally and in writing.

Summary

The Upper School Teacher provides instruction in an educational environment where students defend a love for God’s created order as they explain the truth, goodness, and beauty of His world through methods consistent with the classical approach to learning. The focus here is on teaching students how to form clear, eloquent arguments, and to communicate and defend these ideas via a written and oral thesis at the end of the senior year. Accordingly, most classes are discussion-based with an emphasis on sound logical and rhetorical principles across all disciplines. The Upper School Teacher will lead, instruct, disciple, and mentor students in a manner consistent with the School’s Statement of Faith and the Portrait of a KPA Teacher. The teacher will purposefully partner with parents in the education and spiritual development of their children. The Upper School Teacher will partner collegially with other School employees and will actively pursue intellectual and professional development.

Supervision Received and Exercised

The Upper School teacher receives direction from the Upper School Head, Assistant Upper School Head, and occasionally from the department chair. The Upper School Teacher must exercise judgment that is in keeping with the School’s philosophy of education, beliefs and values, and with the approved curriculum. The Upper School Head or designee will offer instruction, advice, direction and mentoring. The work is reviewed regularly and consistently.

The Upper School Teacher exercises functional supervision over students and classroom environment.

Work Schedule

Teachers are expected to be on campus at least fifteen minutes prior to the start of their classes and five minutes after their classes dismiss. Teachers will need to complete lesson plans, update gradebooks and attendance, and comply with all policies and procedures stated in the employee handbook—which will require working additional hours outside of their designated class times.
