KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools seeks an inspiring world cultures teacher for our elementary grade levels. The World Cultures teacher will lead daily social studies instruction rooted in Florida social studies standards while incorporating African American studies, and projects across multiple grade levels. This educator should have a clear vision for social studies across the school that includes students engaging in learning about a variety of cultures. Social studies instruction will supplement other core academic areas and align with English Language Arts instruction.
This is a full-time position and will work closely in our existing specials department which includes P.E. and other specials classes.

Student hours are typically 8:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Every Wednesday is a student early release day (1:30 p.m.), which allows teachers to participate in weekly professional development.
OUR CURRENT MODEL

Depending on the specials area subject, the teacher may travel to classrooms or have students transition to their own classroom space. Class size is typically ~26 students and typically a teacher will see a class about once per week in a given rotation.
