Teacher Vision
Pharos Academy Charter School is looking for a teacher who is an "uber" kid person. The ideal candidate absolutely loves to teach, train, and push students both academically as well as behaviorally. There is an understanding that messing up and failure is a natural and welcomed part of the learning process. In this teacher's classroom, all students are treated with dignity at all times and students are taught non-academic skills like hard work, collaboration, kindness, and receiving feedback.

In addition to being a kid person, the ideal candidate has a penchant for planning, preparation, using data, and being pushed to excellence. This teacher understands that what happens before students enter the classroom (intellectual preparation) drives what happens in the classroom and ultimately determines student achievement and success levels.

What We Are Looking For

Commitment to daily and long-term instructional planning and preparation to ensure students get the most out of each class.
Commitment and drive to constantly learn and improve practice through implementing feedback from instructional leadership, peers, parents, and students to better serve and meet the needs of all students.
Commitment to using data to improve short term and long-term student achievement goals.
Full accountability for student academic outcomes and classroom culture and a steadfast belief that all students can achieve.
Commitment to being a team player (crew member) and belief in Pharos Academy's core beliefs and educational viewpoint.
What We Offer You

Competitive salary based on performance driving student outcomes. Starting salary for teachers is $80,000*.
401k plan with employer matching of 5 percent.
Comprehensive benefits package - Medical/Dental/Vision
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to further support employees.
Classrooms fully stocked with 1:1 technology and all essential classroom supplies.
Entry salary range for this position is $80,000 - $90,000, with the potential to reach $115,000. Compensation is based on years of experience as well as performance metrics.
