Lakeside School, an independent 5-12 day school located in North Seattle, is currently recruiting for a full time Middle School Social Studies teacher for the 2023-2024 school year. The Middle School Social Studies program prepares students to thrive and lead in a world of accelerating change. To actively contribute wisdom, compassion, and leadership to a global society, students must understand the past and its relationship to the world today. We emphasize an Equity and Inclusion Mindset, as well as Global, Ethical, Sustainability, and Service Mindsets, while helping students build the literacy, critical thinking, multi-disciplinary flexibility, and courageous problem-solving they will need as they face the unknowns of the future.
Responsibilities: Lakeside Middle School’s social studies teachers are a collaborative team. Across grades five through eight, students’ literacy skills grow as they analyze texts, visuals, and data. They learn to research and to make prudent and effective use of media and technology. To foster critical thinking, students identify claims, evaluate evidence and reasoning, and learn to make and defend their own claims. Through engaging in dialogue, debate, simulations, and projects students build competence with active listening, public speaking, clear and effective writing, perspective-taking, collaboration, and leadership. We promote civic understanding, skills, and actions, equipping and empowering students with the knowledge and tools to build a more equal and sustainable tomorrow. By providing opportunities to apply their learning, explore what service means, and act as an ally and advocate, students develop a personal commitment to individual, social, and environmental responsibility.The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic social studies educator who is interested in curriculum development, innovative pedagogy, culturally responsive and collaborative teaching, and working with highly motivated young students.
