Description

The English Department has an opening for the 2020-2021 school year as a one-year sabbatical replacement. The Department is seeking a highly-qualified, dynamic, and innovative teacher who combines significant knowledge in English Language and Literature, and pedagogy. The Hotchkiss School is eager to consider applications from groups traditionally underrepresented in independent school communities.

Qualifications:
A bachelor’s degree in English Literature or a related field required; master’s degree in a relevant field is preferred. Several years of teaching experience, ideally at the secondary level, is preferred.  The ideal candidate will be:

• a student-centered educator, skilled in discussion facilitation,
• a professional oral and written communicator,
• eager to work collaboratively with colleagues,
• committed to improving their practice through peer observation,
• dedicated to making positive contributions to the student experience both inside and outside the classroom, including in dorms and on teams & clubs, and through advising.

Duties & Responsibilities:
Responsibilities will include teaching courses in our English and/or Humanities programs. Additional duties might include residential, advising, and co-curricular programs. Typical responsibilities of a full-time faculty member at Hotchkiss include teaching four classes, coaching two seasons (or the equivalent) of a co-curricular 1-2 nights of duty per week and one weekend of duty per month in a residential dorm, and periodic service on faculty committees and/or as an advisor to student clubs. Faculty members who serve a residential role receive year-round housing (plus utilities), and meals when school is in session. Full-time faculty members are generally expected to obtain a public service endorsement on their CT drivers license within the first year of employment, so that they may drive students in school vehicles

Compensation:
Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience and education level. Hotchkiss provides a comprehensive benefits package, which includes a variety of health insurance offerings, dental, vision, life, and short- and long-term disability offerings, HSA/FSA options, and retirement benefits through TIAA-CREF.  Ample funding exists to support participation in professional conferences, workshops, summer study, and travel, as well as advanced degree work.
