About The Position

WHIN Music Community Charter School is seeking a teacher who is ready to help grow a unique school community where compassion, kindness, and curiosity drive each and every day. WHIN is the first school of its kind, built on the principles of El Sistema, where children learn, grow, and make music together. At WHIN, we are building a nucleo, a community where staff, families, and students work together to make a powerful shift in public education that puts learners’ needs first. The school's mission is to provide its diverse student population with rigorous academic instruction, intensive music education, and a positive learning environment so that every student can thrive academically and personally. The school believes that all children deserve a high-quality education with access to academic rigor, music creation, and a holistic approach to developing character. Collaboration with families ensures the greatest success for learners, and restorative justice, inquiry-based hands-on learning, and authentic learning experiences provide the most effective environments for growth, success, and joy. WHIN is looking for staff who are looking to grow and prosper in a collaborative work environment, are excited about working in a school and neighborhood where diversity is central, and are interested in learning about being an educator. In action, the mission looks like caring deeply about all aspects of our young learners’ potential. Academics are a priority while also ensuring students’ character and personal growth. With music at its core, students experience working together to create something bigger than their individual skills every single day, and this approach extends to classrooms where project-based, hands-on learning cultivates curious, creative, and hardworking learners.
