Full Job Description

Job Opening: High School Teacher (History & Social Sciences)

Course Description:

United States History:

The student will gain a fundamental understanding of American history both as a body of knowledge and as a living presence in life by comparing vital documents in whole and in excerpt; by creating timetables on specific historical themes; by striving to understand American society, American institutions, and their evolution; by appreciating the sacrifices necessary to keep the ideals and values of American democracy alive; and by practicing reading, writing, and critical thinking skills.

Economics:

Economics underlies many national and world issues. The Honors Economics course develops a basic understanding of the general principles of economic thinking, modern economic theory, and the interdependent nature of the current world economy. The course will cover such topics as supply and demand, inflation, unemployment, the business cycle, national fiscal and monetary policies, dependence on natural resources, trade and surplus and deficit, and international agreements such as NAFTA.

World Religions:

The study of the world’s religions will give students the opportunity to explore areas related to the traditions, beliefs, practices, aspirations, and values of millions of people in our world. Through our studies together, students are encouraged to learn about the major religions through the process of inquiry and explanation to develop the ability to think systematically, and to acquire an empathetic understanding of people of various beliefs and religious practices. Major areas of concentration include studying the world’s religions through primal traditions. Each unit emphasizes the rationale and teachings of religion, explores the influence of its leaders in society and examines its impact on everyday activity. Religion affects many aspects of human life and culture. Therefore, students will both engage and gain an appreciation of the search for God and the recognition of both similarities and differences in the world’s religions through explorative study, asking questions, sustaining each student’s search for answers and reflective dialogue.

Duties and Responsibilities
