• A passion for their content area


• Creative methods to deliver lessons and assess progress


• Effective classroom management skills, including preferred practices regarding positive and negative classroom behaviors


• An eye for using data to identify and solve problems


• Implement inclusive education practices for students with learning differences


• A clear idea of an effective lesson structure, including what elements of a lesson plan would be crucial for high student achievement/engagement


• A bachelor’s and/or master’s degree in education, their content area, or a related area

Why work at RUCA?

We know the time it takes to be an effective teacher, so we only want to deliver relevant professional development and give you time to provide effective feedback to allow your students to improve. More importantly, we want to know you as a person so we can support you specifically, whether you need extra resources or just an encouraging conversation.

More benefits include:

• Working in a school based on modern academic principles, where technology is leveraged to ease teacher workload but not a distraction in the classroom (100% of our teachers say cell phone are a minimal distraction or not a distraction at all during class)


• Spiritual growth nurtured through school leadership that seeks Christ in their endeavors and sets aside time to build strong relationships with staff members


• Unique opportunity to grow a school from its foundations - we look forward to listening to and acting on your views, especially in your content area


• Being trusted to teach what is most important and relevant to your students
