Position Overview

 

A teacher at The Augustine Academy is first and foremost a lover of Jesus Christ, children and knowledge. Within this relational context, the Teacher is responsible to set and maintain a positive (high-joy), inspirational, and peacefully authoritative atmosphere in and out of the classroom. Every day the teacher is to instruct, expect, uphold, shepherd and specifically train students in “the habits of the good life” (students’ ways of relating to work and persons). Through ongoing training, regular observation and feedback, study and practice, the teacher is to become highly skilled in Charlotte Mason’s “method of a lesson” in classroom instruction. The Teacher is to master the breadth and depth of the curriculum, upholding a rigorous standard of quality and quantity of student-produced work. In a broad sense, the Teacher also represents the school in and out of the classroom and acts on behalf of the school by professionally and warmly interacting with all students, parents, teachers, staff and visitors. The Teacher reports to the Headmaster and/or other designated senior-level leadership staff.

Responsibilities

 

Spiritual Life

 

A Teacher at The Augustine Academy is first and foremost a lover of Jesus Christ. As such, the duties listed in this section are provided for the purpose of self-reflection but are not used as criteria in a professional evaluation; such duties would include but are not limited to the following:

 

  • Cultivating a personal love for God by keeping a daily devotional practice.
  • Practicing ongoing awareness and dialog with God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—throughout the changing circumstances of each day.
  • Being quick to recognize personal responses that are less than the character of Christ (particularly habitual responses); quick to repent and to pursue growth.
  • Praying daily for students.
  • Initiating prayer (appreciation, repentance, petition) with students spontaneously and at set times (Bible class, lunch, dismissal, etc.)
  • Instructing students in how to pray more maturely (i.e., moving beyond “for a good day” or “to win the game,” etc.).
  • Freely and naturally speaking of Jesus, though never as a tool to manipulate student behavior.
  • Actively participating in a local church community.
On Method Math Lessons

 

Consistently apply the ASI method steps in mathematics lessons by:

 

  • Ensuring all students are engaged in performing the “act of knowing.”
  • Employing the “First Little Talk”—warming up (mental math, memory work) and setting up (review, vocabulary) in each lesson.
  • Facilitating the lesson by making wise use of text and direct instruction.
  • Inviting full, accurate recall of definitions and algorithms.
  • Employing the “Second Little Talk”—avoiding lecture and explanation, using open questions to ensure understanding of the principles and ideas (i.e., students can explain the why).
  • Giving appropriate “Response” opportunities—providing adequate practice/use of the skill.
  • Facilitating student discovery and correction of errors, rarely giving direct correction.
