Job description

BASIS Phoenix South is seeking qualified candidates for a 5th Grade English/Writing Teacher for the 2025/2026 school year!

About our campus:

Our Phoenix South campus is a Title I School. What does that mean?

“Title I” refers to schools that serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, and they can be found in both urban and rural communities throughout the United States. Through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, Title I schools qualify for additional funds and support from government agencies to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to be successful.

Teachers are drawn to teach in Title I schools for a variety of reasons. Many want to make a difference for high-needs students and/or give back to their own communities. Others have been inspired by their own influential teachers and want to be “that one teacher” for their own students.

The role of the English/Writing Teacher (SET) is to ensure the day-to-day exceptional education of students by preparing and facilitating subject specific lesson plans. Subject Expert Teachers implement the established BASIS Curriculum while tailoring specific topics to integrate their knowledge and passion for the subject.

• Implement the BASIS Curriculum by designing effective and creative lessons and assessments to ensure students' education is internationally competitive.
• Collaborate with other BASIS Curriculum teachers to further develop curriculum/subject material and build a community of like-minded professionals passionate about education.
• Tutor students in content-specific knowledge and skills to heighten the trajectory of students' academic and career success.
• Manage student behavior to foster academic achievement, personal responsibility, intellect, individuality, and respect in all students.
• Support the execution of non-instructional functions, such as “Early Bird,” “Late Bird,” and lunch.
• Maintain regular, full, predictable attendance.
• Supervise individual students and/or groups of students.

Benefits and Salary:

• Salary for this position is competitive and dependent on education and experience.
• BASIS Ed offers a comprehensive benefits package, including but not limited to:
  • Employer paid medical and dental insurance.
