The Field School's program is ambitious and bold, and our teachers are required to embody the mission of the school by guiding students to discover their authentic selves and distinctive paths to become empathetic, creative thinkers who act boldly to shape our shared future. All faculty are expected to pursue this through a combination of authentic day-to-day interactions with students, in the design and implementation of curriculum, and in their professional interactions with colleagues.

A flexible and innovative mindset is required. As content experts and students of best practice, Field teachers are expected to adapt to their students' learning interests and needs. Strong communication skills and a willingness to collaborate are imperative, as Field teachers regularly work with other teachers, student-support teams, department chairs, and academic leadership to ensure that all students are being supported and challenged by our mission.

Faculty are expected to teach assigned courses, or coach, may serve as student advisors, and facilitate school-wide programming while striving to improve in practice by leveraging coaching, mentoring, professional development, and other supports.

At Field, we believe that students learn best when they feel a sense of belonging at their school – when they are seen and valued by their faculty, peers, and school community. Our approach to community emphasizes respect for, and the inclusion of, all community members as individuals while balancing a focus on the common good and well-being of the school community as a whole.

This balance means that we prioritize the community without prioritizing sameness.

Field is a place where our classrooms, hallways, and athletic spaces mirror the outside world, embracing a diversity of identity, thought, experience, and ability. We believe in the interconnectedness of people and ideas; we strive to be a learning community at every level of the school. At the core, faculty of any discipline are expected to be committed learners and model community members.

While Field is an independent school, we are not independent of each other or our established academic standards. Faculty are members of the larger Field community and are expected to shepherd the values of the school.

The Field School is deeply committed to creating and sustaining a learning environment that values equity, diversity, and inclusion as outlined above. This commitment requires sustained effort and a willingness to grow as a community of professionals.

While we look for teachers who can teach the breadth of our curriculum, this position specifically seeks a teacher who can teach History in the Middle School (grade 6‑8) division, with possible sections in the Upper School (grade 9‑12) division.
