About The Position

Join a team of teachers at The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School, featured in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and on 60 Minutes for its revolutionary teacher salaries and its outstanding results. TEP aims to achieve educational equity for students from historically underserved communities by utilizing world-class teachers, while re-imagining the teaching profession as a place in which teachers prioritize their own growth - as pedagogical experts, intellectual seekers, and community leaders. Applicants will be eligible for Middle School Teaching roles in their content area of specialty. As one of the three pillars of our program (Academics, Arts, and Athletics), TEP is deeply committed to building a classroom culture that fosters a genuine love for learning.

Teaching Fellows collaborate with co-teachers to facilitate lesson plans that include small-group instruction and individualized feedback to support student achievement and progress. Each TEP Teaching Fellow teaches one subject to one grade level in any given year, but may switch grade levels and/or subjects from one year to the next. Middle School teachers will work in a state-of-the-art learning environment carefully designed, built, and crafted to spark joy and instill a love of learning for TEP students.
