ANNOUNCING GRADE 6 TO 12 TEACHING OPPORTUNITIES The United States has some of the world's greatest universities. It has public schools that face some of the world's greatest challenges. What if a major university decided to create exemplary public schools? This is the vision of the University of Chicago. We operate four public charter schools on the South Side of Chicago, educating children from prekindergarten to grade 12 for success in college and life. We are actively recruiting candidates for teaching positions at Woodlawn, grade six to 12 campus of the University of Chicago Charter School. We seek
teachers who will create and deliver rigorous and engaging learning
opportunities for our students. We especially welcome applications from
teachers who can provide inquiry-based and project-based instruction in
mathematics, reading, English language arts, the sciences, the social sciences,
world languages, the performing arts, and physical education/wellness
education. Additionally, we seek teachers with expertise and commitment to educating
students with exceptional needs, both in resource and inclusion settings. Qualified applicants are licensed teachers with a
bachelor's degree and urban public school teaching experience. They believe
that all children, regardless of race, culture, class, or religion, can achieve

and youth to learn and achieve at high levels. Additionally, competitive

and cultural competence in drawing upon the assets of children and families to
shape curriculum and instruction. They demonstrate effective, proactive, and
