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 their knowledge and passion for the subject.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university in subject matter (or 24+ credit hours in applicable subject matter with other degree).
• Valid Identity Verified Prints (IVP) Fingerprint Clearance Card.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree from an accredited college or university in subject matter or education.
• 2+ years teaching/education experience.

SETs Role In Our Co-Teaching Model

BASIS Elementary Teachers are knowledgeable, passionate and believe in transforming education. Our K-3 (or K-4, depending on campus location) classrooms are co-taught with two elementary school teachers co-creating with students at all times. Our Subject Expert Teachers (SETs) are responsible for cultivating and implementing grade and subject-specific lessons plans. The SET is also in charge of daily instruction and collaborates with the Learning Expert Teacher (LETs) to meet students’ academic needs. Our elementary teachers love teaching and our students love learning. BASIS teachers celebrate elementary education and, guided by the belief that any child can excel, our elementary teachers' deep pedagogical expertise ensures each student receives a world-class education.

Essential Functions

• Prepare and facilitate subject and grade-specific lesson plans.
• Provide subject instruction at a higher level than grade standard in an interactive environment to achieve exceptional results.
• Implement the BASIS Curriculum by designing effective and creative lessons and assessments to ensure internationally competitive education.
• Collaborate with other BASIS Curriculum teachers to develop curriculum and build a professional community.
• Tutor students in content-specific knowledge and skills to enhance their academic and career success.
• Manage student behavior to foster achievement, responsibility, respect, and individuality.
• Support non-instructional functions such as “Early Bird,” “Late Bird,” and lunch supervision.
• Maintain regular, full, predictable attendance.
• Supervise individual students or groups of students.
