World History Teacher - Family Leave Coverage April/May 2025

Providence Country Day School, an independent school serving students in grades PK-12, seeks a dynamic, versatile educator for a long-term substitute role in our Upper School History Department. The position includes teaching three 10th grade Modern World / European History sections and one section of 9th grade World History would start in April and extend six weeks through the mid-May. 

PCD’s Upper School history curriculum begins in the 9th grade with both our 9th and 10th grade courses using the OER Project – World History Project curriculum (https://www.oerproject.com/World-History) as the primary curriculum resource, and continues through U.S. History in 11th grade. The senior year history offerings currently include AP Art History, AP U.S. Government & Politics and a variety of trimester electives that evolve each year based on faculty and student input and interest. The ideal candidate will have a versatile background in history with specific experience in or ability to teach World History. Our history teachers are expected to approach history from diverse perspectives in a creative, differentiated, forward thinking way. Candidates should be collaborative team players with strong interpersonal and communication skills and a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in the classroom and the workplace. Experience with, or background in, project-based learning, inquiry-based learning, and differentiated instruction are desired. This teacher should plan to be part of a collaborative faculty team and an integral component of students’ lives: in the classroom, as a department member, and as an advisor. 

Qualified candidates will have a bachelor’s degree (or higher). 

Candidates of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and bilingual candidates are encouraged to apply. We strive to have a team that reflects the diversity of our students and families. It is important to us that our students can see themselves in the adults that surround them each day. PCD is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
