Physical Education Teacher (Elementary School) (140K)

Earn a $140,000 salary and join a team of master teachers at The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School, featured in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and on 60 minutes for its revolutionary teacher salaries and its outstanding results. TEP aims to achieve educational equity for students from traditionally underserved communities by utilizing world-class teachers, while re-imagining the teaching profession as a place in which teachers prioritize their own growth - as pedagogical experts, intellectual seekers, and community leaders.

About the Role

TEP is deeply committed to Physical Education, evidenced by the fact that TEP students receive one full period of PE every single day, across every single grade. As one of the three pillars of our program (Academics, Arts, and Athletics), TEP treats PE as a full-fledged academic subject, and not as an elective meant to supplement.

In this role, you will teach a daily 45-minute PE period to each of the five K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th grade classes. You will also supervise unstructured play as well as structured activities during recess, ensuring that students are safe but active on the road to developing the habits that will lead to life-long health.

To Apply:

To apply, you must submit an application through The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School website here.

The first stage of the process is the application below. In order to be considered, you must submit an application that consists of all four components: 1 - Resume, 2 - Cover letter, 3 - Instructional Video, and 4 - Submission of Teaching and Learning. The requirements for each of the four components are specified in detail below.

1. RESUME: Please submit an up-to-date resume.

2. COVER LETTER: Please submit a well-written cover letter that highlights your specific interest in joining the TEP community.

3. INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO: Please submit an unedited video clip (maximum 15 minutes) of you teaching in a classroom setting (preferred) or a small-group setting. It is preferred that the students be in the same grade-level as the TEP teaching position for which you are applying, though this is not a strict requirement. The video may contain only one continuous, unedited clip (i.e. do not splice together multiple clips from different points in the lesson). The clip does not need to show an entire lesson; a brief lesson segment is perfectly acceptable.

If you do not have a video with students in the classroom you may still submit a video of yourself teaching. Get creative! You m
