Required Education:
Performing Arts Faculty

At Tilton School, we are a community in pursuit of knowing, supporting, and challenging each other as we learn to do hard things well. Our faculty design learning experiences that build the essential skills and sensibilities our students will need to be life-ready, at college and beyond. As such, we seek a compelling and passionate educator to teach four-to-five sections of Performing Arts at various levels and possibly other humanities-related courses in our curriculum. Flexibility and experience to teach across two or more domains in the humanities is preferred, but not a requirement for consideration.
As a residential school, Tilton considers the work of faculty broadly, and we engage with students both during and beyond the academic day. Faculty at Tilton can expect to contribute two seasons in the co-curricular and/or athletic program and to be responsible for weekly evening and monthly weekend supervisory duties. This position can include housing.

- embrace an initiative-driven faculty culture focused on advancing Tilton School’s mission
- possess an understanding of current teaching pedagogies and adolescent development
- model flexibility in both implementing best learning practices and pursuing success for each student
- oversee all Performing Arts programming and curriculum development
- teach a combination Music Ensemble/theory and Theatre Arts 1 courses
- direct/co-direct after-school theatrical productions
- oversee theatre space and equipment (lighting, sound, projector, etc.)
- possess a high degree of cultural competency and demonstrated experience working with diverse populations and perspectives
- demonstrate fluency with academic technology that advances learning for students and a willingness to integrate technology into classroom experiences
- enjoy collaborating with colleagues within and across subject areas, and all aspects of school life
- invest in the community and participate in the lives of our students outside of the classroom
- convey patience, empathy, enthusiasm, and optimism in their work with adolescents and faculty
- possess excellent interpersonal, communication (writing, listening, speaking), and organizational skills, and exhibit the ability to interact and work effectively with students, parents, faculty and other employees
- commit to self-reflection, work independently, and pursue professional growth and networking opportunities that will allow for full engagement in discovering and implementing best practices in this role
