Job Description



KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools seeks middle school teachers for our fifth through eighth grade classrooms in the 2024-25 school year. Teachers are assigned one grade level and are responsible for creating a positive classroom environment, implementing curriculum, assessing students, collaborating with their team, building relationships with families, and other duties as assigned. Full teacher responsibilities are ultimately outlined by their school leader.

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

There are four “home room” teachers on each grade level who are each responsible for teaching a single core subject. (For example, there are four teachers on the 6th grade team; each staff member teaches every student on that grade level for their assigned subject.) Class size is typically about 25 students per class.

Subjects on each grade level include English Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, and Science. This posting is specifically for those candidates interested in teaching social studies. Please note within the application if you have grade level preferences. Relevant certification should also be indicated in the application.
