Teacher of Social Science - United Kingdom - Ark Acton Academy
Description
Location : Acton, West London - Excellent transport links, Acton Town station only 5 minutes' walk and ample car parking onsite.
Role: Teacher of Social Science
Start Date: September 2024
Salary: GBP37,667- GBP48,857
Closing date: 17 th May 2024
Interviews: On a rolling basis - (We reserve the right to close the advert early on appointment of a suitable candidate, early application is advised)
Contract : Full-time hours, permanent contract.
In the words of Christine Counsell, without knowledge of one's own past, one cannot live as a human. All our thoughts and acts are tissued with memory. Without knowledge of a collective past, we cannot think or act socially or politically. That is why knowledge of Social Sciences is emancipatory. Only when young people can generalise appropriately, draw on enough precedent to give explanatory power to their argumenta and share enough common terms of reference to challenge the grounds of others' generalisations and arguments can they hope to engage with educated discourse and especially serious political discourse.
At Ark Acton we believe therefore that the principal function of Social Sciences is to develop 'historically literate' pupils who do not view the past as dead and fixed but as a means to examine the world and what it means to be human. As they progress through KS3 and into KS4 and 5, students learn to orient themselves in time and critically contextualise issues of the past to see their relevance today.
To do this, our curriculum aims to develop:
A. An extensive general knowledge of the past underpinned by a strong understanding of historical concepts, such as Empire.
B. Strong conceptual understanding, underpinned by second order concepts such as interpretations.
We also need to understand that Social Sciences should serve to develop inclusive communities, one where pupils can affirm their emerging identities with the curriculum and see their learning as meaningful. To do this, our curriculum incorporates world Social Sciences, such as the Mali Empire, local Social Sciences such as the Industrial Revolution and Acton and a Social Sciences of migration over time.
We therefore aim to ensure that both substantive and disciplinary knowledge work to serve one another and to ensure that our students come to see the past as a contested space; where knowledge does not arrive in fixed stories that can never be reconfigured, challenged, or defended.
We place the curriculum - what we teach - at the heart of the academy and it informs all decisions we make. We are looking for someone who shares our belief in disciplinary thinking and who will help improve and refine our curriculum thinking.
In the words of Alex Standish we believe that " school subjects then are a way of inducting children into the intellectual habits of humankind, and hence into a disciplinary conversation about knowing our world " and we are looking for someone who shares this belief to join our team.
