McCallie takes an expansive view of education, seeking to form the whole boy. In his journey to manhood, McCallie comes alongside the student and supports his mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional development.
During a time of strength, momentum, and growth, McCallie seeks a dynamic Upper School English teacher with broad liberal arts training. The teacher should be student-focused, a good writer, and an experienced classroom teacher. The teacher will join a strong English department that engages boys and trains them to think clearly, to write persuasively, and to read critically. By interacting with a variety of fiction and non-fiction works and by using a variety of teaching methods, the English Department introduces boys to other cultures, helps them to develop empathy and compassion for others, encourages them to understand themselves and their world more deeply, and challenges them to live moral and ethical lives by better understanding and communicating their own stories and their own critically reasoned and well-informed voices.
The teacher will teach four to five sections and will also be involved in the school's extensive afternoon activity program, coaching a sport at a junior varsity or varsity level or involved in one of the many extracurricular activities that McCallie offers.
