ROLE DESCRIPTION

Part-Time Instructional Faculty - 9th Grade Seminar (Male Course)

This position offices in-person, on campus

A 9th Grade Seminar (Male Course) Faculty member at Valor Christian High School supports and mentors students through every aspect of their transition to Valor, playing a vital role in their academic and spiritual development while equipping them with the skills needed to thrive in high school. This role includes actively guiding students in managing their academic responsibilities by developing skills in organization, time management, goal setting, and self-advocacy.

The teacher serves as a central support for each student, intentionally equipping and coaching them to self-advocate with key stakeholders, including classroom teachers, academic and college counselors, deans, coaches, and parents, so that students take ownership of their growth while ensuring they are holistically supported.

In addition, the Freshman Seminar teacher intentionally facilitates opportunities for students to explore their identity in Christ and understand how God has uniquely designed them with specific gifts, strengths, and purposes. Through discipleship, reflection, and meaningful experiences, students are guided to grow in self-awareness, character, and faith, while developing a clear sense of purpose and direction as they begin their high school journey.

Demonstrating strong competency in the Freshman Seminar curriculum, they collaborate with their colleagues to deliver effective instruction and intentionally integrate Biblical truth and Christian values into daily interactions. They cultivate respectful, engaging classrooms that promote critical thinking, collaboration, and growth, while investing in students through Life Groups, prayer partnerships, and co-curricular opportunities, partnering with parents and colleagues to support each student’s development.
