Teaching Fellows

POSITION SUMMARY

Albuquerque Academy seeks a cohort of teaching fellows for the 2023-24 academic year. Albuquerque Academy is looking to engage candidates who embrace a growth mindset in their approach to education and will bring that perspective to teaching and advising in our 6-12 program. Successful candidates are eager to grow as new educators and eager to embrace experiences in all aspects of school life: teaching, advising, coaching, immersive school trips, and leading extracurricular activities. They intend to become career educators. They also demonstrate a dedication to collaboration with their colleagues and a creative and flexible approach to curriculum design and instruction. In addition to teaching two classes, candidates will also attend a class taught by their mentor teacher for the full school year. They will meet regularly with their mentor teacher to discuss all aspects of their own classroom work and their observations of other classes. At least for the first semester, most teaching fellows will follow the curriculum laid out by their mentor teacher. Diversity is a core value at Albuquerque Academy, and we seek candidates who demonstrate an abiding commitment to equity and belonging.

Candidates interested in the Experiential Education Department Teaching Fellow listing, please apply to the separate job posting when it opens in December.

All teachers at Albuquerque Academy approach their work in accordance with the values in our mission and in a spirit of kindness, professionalism, generosity, and civility to all members of the community. An education at the Academy focuses on the whole child, and teachers and administrators are expected to teach well and also to function as adult mentors for students, in and out of the classroom. Our community norms, listed below, underlie our school culture, and all community members are expected to commit themselves fully to them.

1. Value and respect the diverse contributions of each person in the community.

2. Assume positive intent and inquire if you are left with questions or concerns.

3. Engage in face-to-face direct conversations; be clear, open, and honest in your conversations.

4. Be present and participate.

Strong candidates are attracted to our mission and see themselves as engaged community members. They will need to create and implement relevant curriculum and varied assessments for their classes. Outside the classroom, our teachers work with students in ways that foster their growth and development into effective community members. The teacher’s daily activities include classroom teaching, advising, being available to students for assistance, supporting extracurricular activities, and serving the school community in a variety of other ways. Teaching fellows are directly supervised by their mentor teacher, their department chair, and their division head.

The teaching fellow will commit to full participation in all aspects of the teaching fellows program, including: regular seminars on a variety of aspects of school life with the associate head of school, professional development opportunities with the rest of the faculty as well as those designed especially for the teaching fellows cohort, and serving as a co-faculty sponsor in at least one immersive experience for students. Fellows should thrive in a collaborative setting with their cohort of beginning teachers as well as their departmental and divisional faculty. Successful fellows will seek out direct feedback and value all aspects of the mentoring offered in this position. The school commits to helping the teaching fellows embark on a job search for the following year. Should there be an opening at the Academy, fellows are welcome to apply, but there is no guarantee of future employment with Albuquerque Academy. The teaching fellows program is a one-year position.

Additionally, teaching fellows will participate as teachers and advisers in the Academy’s “Bridge Program,” an academic and social preparation and orientation experience for rising sixth-grade students that takes place before school begins in early August. Teaching fellows will have flexibility in terms of their presence on campus before August, when they will need to be physically present to participate in training and then work with students. July should be used for preparation and planning for the start of the school year, to include some meetings (can be remote) to work with their mentor-teacher and department chair. The stipend for the Fellows program is $25,000; fellows are considered full-time employees (40 hours per week) and are therefore eligible for the full array of benefits. Fellows should expect to be on campus during the school day, and sometimes after and before school for meetings.

Albuquerque Academy seeks to maintain a diverse and energetic faculty to work with 1182 highly capable students, including 56% students of color. We encourage applications from groups traditionally underrepresented in independent school communities.
