    Social Sciences Teacher - United Kingdom - Ark Acton Academy

    Default job background
    Description
    Acton, West London - Excellent transport links, Acton Town station only 5 minutes' walk and ample car parking onsite.

    Role:
    Teacher of Social Science

    Contract :
    Full-time hours, permanent contract.
    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.

    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 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.

    At Ark Acton we have stripped away anything we feel gets in the way of being a great teacher so that we can focus on the main thing.

    No termly data metrics to track progress
    weekly staff training and coaching for every teacher

    access to Ark's employee rewards and benefits programme.
    Combine subject matter expertise with a passion for teaching Social Science
