Requirements / Qualifications
To apply, submit all of the following in pdf format (preferably in one document, if possible) to teach@cristoreysandiego.org. Include the position in the subject line of your email (e.g, Faculty: Science). - Resume - Contact information for three professional references (name, position, email address, and phone number) - Cover letter with responses (maximum 500 words per response) to the three following prompts: 1. What attracts you to the Cristo Rey mission? Why do you feel you are a match for this unique opportunity to be an instructor at Cristo Rey San Diego High School? 2. Describe your philosophy of education and how you would put it into practice at Cristo Rey San Diego. 3. Many high school students confront an urgent, double challenge: they struggle with reading comprehension, basic numeracy, and they have acquired less of the academic vocabulary and core knowledge—in science, history, civics, the arts, etc.—that are critical to their success. These two challenges are reciprocal; difficulty with reading comprehension limits students’ ability to gain new knowledge and vocabulary, and limited vocabulary and core knowledge hinder reading comprehension. As a teacher in a college-prep high school with students facing this reality, how would (or do) you address it?
