Equality Charter School is an innovative, high-performing, and growing charter school serving the Bronx community. We are currently seeking a Middle School 6-8 Career & Civics to support our middle school campus. At Equality Charter Middle School (ECMS), we pride ourselves on being a true community school—one that provides scholars with a well-rounded educational experience grounded in academic rigor, social-emotional awareness, and love.

The ideal candidate is deeply aligned with these core values and demonstrates that alignment consistently through their practice, relationships, and daily presence within the school community.

At Equality Charter Middle School, the role of the classroom teacher is intentionally designed to differ from that of many other schools. Teachers serve as the deans of their own classrooms, holding primary responsibility for both academic instruction and the social-emotional culture of their learning environment. Our program is structured to provide educators with the time, focus, and support needed to excel as core academic instructors while also serving as strong, consistent social-emotional leaders for their scholars. We deliberately minimize competing demands so teachers can build deep expertise in the foundational content areas that drive all learning, while also maintaining clear ownership over classroom routines, relationships, and expectations. The responsibilities and time allocations associated with this role reflect a clear and purposeful instructional priority, reinforcing teachers’ authority and accountability as the instructional and cultural leaders of their classrooms.

If you are energized by the expectations above and inspired by the instructional approach described below, we enthusiastically encourage you to apply and consider joining our team.

Qualifications:

The ideal candidate brings both heart and skill to their work and demonstrates a deep commitment to our scholars and community. Desired qualifications include:

A compassionate, scholar-centered approach grounded in passion and purpose

A results-oriented mindset with a strong focus on scholar growth and achievement

Demonstrated ability to integrate reading and writing strategies into classroom instruction effectively

Experience designing and facilitating hands-on, cooperative, and engaging learning experiences

A proven record of success working with Equality’s scholar population or similar communities
