Theology Teacher

San Miguel Catholic High School is accepting applications from qualified and highly motivated teachers for our Theology team.

You are a skilled instructor with passion both for your field of content expertise and for leading students in learning the content and skills associated with your field. You demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to ensuring that every student learns at a college-ready level and that the environment for learning is rich with motivation, active engagement in cognitively challenging tasks, regular assessment and feedback, as well as differentiated forms of re-engagement and support.

You value both a college-ready academic education and career-ready experiential learning, that together are rooted in a multicultural and multireligious community of Catholic heritage and culture inspired by the Lasallian educational tradition. You see relationships of mutual respect and rapport as foundational to learning. You value professional growth through collaboration with other educators both at the school level and in partnership with others in our regional and national networks.

You collaborate well in various collegial structures for professional and ministerial growth. You appreciate the important role of parents and families in the education of their children. You value communication and interaction with parents as an essential component of student learning. You are an emotionally resilient teacher who exhibits flexibility and adaptability in a dynamic environment of educational innovation.

We are a school committed to serving high potential young people from under-resourced communities of Tucson, who will likely be the first generation of their family to enroll in a degree-seeking program at the university level. We assist students and their families with the motivation, opportunities, and means to succeed to and through college. We are a Lasallian, Catholic school community, welcoming students, families, and staff educators from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, and engaging all in important questions of meaning, identity, faith and spirituality in dialogue with Catholic theological and religious traditions.

We are located in the Diocese of Tucson and conduct our educational mission in partnership with the Brothers of the Christian Schools (De La Salle). We are a long-standing member of the national Cristo Rey Network, organized around a unique work-and-study educational structure through which every student (grades 9-12) spends approximately five days per month engaged in a professional work assignment at a Tucson area business and spends the other 75 percent of one’s time in college preparatory classes on campus.

In order to accommodate this dual programming, our typical school day and academic year are longer than most other area high schools. We offer rich opportunities for personal and professional growth, through a variety of collegial programs at both the local and national level. We support every instructor through the services of an instructional leadership team that values regular peer observation and best-in-class professional development, general coaching in instructional practice and educational technology, early-career coaching, initial and ongoing orientation, programs in personal and spiritual formation, and regular opportunities for socializing and team-building.
