History Teacher, High School, Teacher Assistant/ Paraprofessional, Middle School
You love history deeply, not only the dates and battles and treaties, but the drama of it, the tension of it, the way God has moved through every human generation. You can explain why the Reformation still matters, get animated about the Constitutional Convention, and help students see God's providence in ways that feel natural rather than tacked on. You believe history is God's story, and you want students to see it that way too.
You also love the students themselves. You see teaching as discipleship. You care about the middle schooler who thinks history is boring, the high schooler who has disconnected somewhere along the way, and the student who needs someone to believe in her. You want to walk alongside them, pointing them to Christ while igniting a passion for history they did not know they had.
You know when to teach directly, when to run a simulation, and when a well-chosen hook will carry students into the next lesson. You can read the room. You know the difference between a student who is confused and a student who is bored, and you adjust before either one checks out.
You want meaningful work that fits your life, three to four days per week, fully remote, with room to grow. You are tech-savvy, energetic, and ready to build something that lasts.
The Position and What You’ll DoYour core responsibilities:
- Teach live virtual history classes to grades 6-12, forty-five to fifty-five minutes each, one or two times per week, using explicit teaching supported by simulations, debates, reenactments, and student discussion
- Design creative history courses such as "Woman Warriors:
From the biblical Deborah to Margaret Thatcher" or "The World's Greatest Baddies," courses that draw students in and give them something worth remembering - Select or create curriculum for World History, US History, Ancient History, and other periods
- Weave biblical worldview naturally throughout your lessons, gospel-oriented rather than only character-oriented, helping students see God's sovereignty, providence, and faithfulness across human events
- Differentiate instruction for mixed-ability classrooms
- Build authentic relationships with students and their families, especially those who have lost interest in history somewhere along the way
- Work with students who have special needs
We teach using I do, we do, you do. Direct teaching first, so students have the framework before they are asked to apply it. Guided practice second, where simulations, debates, and reenactments give students something to walk through together with the teacher shaping the experience. Independent work third, where students demonstrate understanding on their own. A well-chosen hook can also open a lesson, giving students an experience to attach the teaching to when it comes.
Simulations and experiential activities do not replace explicit teaching. They serve it.
- Not a lecture-based position. If your instinct is to talk for fifty minutes while students take notes, this seat is not for you. We want a teacher who knows when to teach directly, when to stop teaching, and how to read the room well enough to run a simulation without losing it.
- Not project-based learning, unless it is grounded in explicit teaching first. Experiential activities have their place, and history offers many of them, but they pair with direct instruction rather than replace it. We are not constructivists.
- Not textbook chapter-by-chapter teaching. There is no rigid scope and sequence. You have creative freedom.
- Not a full-time position. If you need forty hours and full benefits for a family of four, this will not meet your needs.
- Not for people who need constant direction. You will be supported, but you must take ownership and run.
- Not a checkbox Christian role. If biblical worldview integration feels forced or awkward to you, this is not the right fit. We are looking for someone who sees God's hand in history naturally.
