Upper School Psychology Teacher – St. Paul's School for Boys – Brooklandville, MD

3/3/2020

St. Paul’s School for Boys is pleased to announce an opening for a full-time Upper School Psychology

Teacher for the 2020-2021 school year.

School Overview

The St. Paul’s Schools is a family of independent schools located in Brooklandville, Maryland. With

more than 1,400 students from ages 6 months to grade 12, St. Paul’s Pre and Lower School (coed),

St. Paul’s School for Girls, and St. Paul’s School for Boys share a 120-acre campus, an Episcopal

affiliation, and a focus on developing confident, well balanced students who will use their education

and ethics to improve the world. In July 2018, the schools unified under the umbrella of The St.

Paul’s Schools, with a single board of trustees and one president, but each school retains its

individual traditions and its gender-specific programs. A coordinated structure allows The

St. Paul’s Schools to preserve the small-school feel within each school while sharing resources and

certain programs to maximize opportunities for students. With St. Paul’s unique model, boys

and girls are taught together and separately at just the right times in their development.

St. Paul’s School for Boys, founded in 1849, is a college-preparatory day school serving boys in grades

5 through 12. The school’s mission, “Seek truth, knowledge, and excellence; live by faith,

compassion, and integrity,” is the daily standard for all members of our community. St. Paul’s School

for Boys’ students are thoughtful young men who thrive in an educational community that

emphasizes strong relationships, personal growth, and the collective pursuit of integrity.

Key Responsibilities

The ideal candidate will be a creative, inspiring, and experienced psychology teacher or a

professional in the field of psychology with experience working with Upper School students. He or

she should hold a Master’s degree in a relevant field and thrive in a collaborative atmosphere.

Candidates should have a degree in education, psychology or a related field and be able to

demonstrate excellent writing and pedagogy. They should also be able to teach a writing-intensive

curriculum that encompasses a range of texts from the canonical to the contemporary. Applicants

with significant experience in IB, AP, or honors-level courses are preferred.

The ability to develop student-centered lessons and meaningful assessments is critical. Experience

with the IB curriculum or a willingness to participate in professional development is required, and

independent school experience is preferred. The School seeks candidates who will be engaged in the

lives of the students and contribute broadly to the work of the community. The School is especially

interested in candidates who can coach, mentor clubs, or develop other initiatives that serve the

students.

In addition to contributing to the conversations and goals of history and social science department,

candidates should be eager to contribute to school-wide goals: providing rigorous, relevant, and

responsive, student-centered instruction that meets the needs of a range of students; developing a

more multicultural curriculum; and integrating technology as it inspires and facilitates learning.

The St. Paul’s Schools are committed to creating a supportive learning environment where all

individuals are valued for their unique contributions and are able to achieve their highest potential.

We strongly believe that a diverse and inclusive environment is the best learning environment for

our students and prepares them to live, work, and thrive in an increasingly global and multicultural

community. We reject all prejudice, particularly those based on race, national and ethnic origin,

religion, socioeconomic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, and physical characteristics.
