Campbell Hall, founded in 1944 and situated on a 15-acre campus in Studio City, California, is an independent, all-gender, college preparatory, Episcopal day school for students in kindergarten through grade twelve. Campbell Hall is a community of inquiry committed to academic excellence and to the nurturing of decent, loving, and responsible human beings. As an Episcopal school, Campbell Hall thrives as an interfaith community that actively seeks to learn from the many religious traditions represented by faculty, students, and families. 

The school is committed to fostering a community dedicated to honoring the diversity of the human experience. Campbell Hall welcomes candidates who demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in their teaching and learning. Campbell Hall provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.

Campbell Hall Faculty Description

Campbell Hall seeks faculty who are dedicated to the developmentally appropriate education of the whole child; who are interested in learning as well as teaching; who connect their responsibilities with the philosophy and purpose of the school; who teach to empower as well as to inform; who are comfortable with questions as well as answers; who can work with direction, focus, humor, and dignity within the complexities of a diverse school environment; and who will be dedicated to promoting and maintaining an inclusive school community. 

In addition to academic responsibilities, Campbell Hall faculty are involved in many aspects of school life. Coaching interscholastic athletics, chaperoning experiential education trips, participating in community service activities, helping students to produce school publications, overseeing student council, and leading a special interest club are just a few ways faculty are more deeply involved in the Campbell Hall community. 

Campbell Hall faculty embrace the school’s mission and are dedicated to implementing a rigorous college-preparatory academic program. They are equally devoted to the emotional and spiritual development of each student, and they strive to relate to students, parents, and colleagues in ways that promote open and supportive communication. The result is a community where students and adults are confident to learn and grow.

The associate teacher at Campbell Hall is held in high regard. We value the role they play in the instruction of our students. They work in unison with a lead classroom teacher (self-contained in grades K-3 and math/science or humanities in grades 4-6) to meet a wide range of academic and social developmental needs of young children. The associate teacher model gives teachers who are relatively new to teaching the opportunity to work with an experienced lead teacher on all aspects of classroom life. In turn, the lead teacher/associate teacher model allows Campbell Hall to provide a collaborative team teaching approach that provides for low student-teacher ratio, small-group instruction, and individualized attention.  

Qualifications:

• The associate teacher will have either student teaching experience or classroom experience with elementary aged children  

• A Bachelor’s degree is required

• Proficiency with technology (Google Drive, SmartBoards, PowerSchool, Seesaw, website creation, etc.) and comfort with integrating technology into daily lessons

Responsibilities include the following:

• Collaborate with the lead teacher and grade level team on classroom management and student success

• Share the responsibility, with the lead teacher, in maintaining the classroom environment (e.g. organizing materials, bulletin boards, setting up learning centers & work areas, photocopying materials)

• Develop relationships with the children in their class

• Communicate information to the lead teacher on behavior and social interactions for report cards and meetings.

• Attend Back to School Night, Elementary (and all) Faculty meetings, Parent Orientations, and suggested professional development, including the Campbell Hall Summer Institutes, and Kindergarten Mini-Days

• Manage full class transitions and supervise recess, lunch, carpool and other duties as assigned

• Substitute for the lead teacher when necessary

Demonstrate competencies in the following areas:

• Accountability and data driven (proven by student work)

• Stamina (organized, punctual, reliable under pressure)

• Management (ability to manage behavior in a classroom of up to 25 students)

• Self-reflection (ability to accept and implement feedback)

• Preparation (ability to study curriculum and do the intellectual work needed to deliver instruction at a high level)

• Initiative, flexibility, team-player

• Dedication to the mission of Campbell Hall

• Deadline and detail driven

• Eagerness to go above and beyond the job requirements, to be innovative, and support the organization

Other items for consideration:

• Associate teachers should make themselves available to their lead teachers at least two weeks prior to the start of school to support curriculum planning and set up the classroom.

• Associate teachers with at least three years experience at Campbell Hall, not including student teaching or long-term substitute teaching, may apply for lead teacher job opportunities within the Elementary School.

• Working as an associate teacher does not guarantee a position as a lead teacher at Campbell Hall. Lead teaching opportunities are based on evaluation and experience and are open to an outside search.

• Associate teachers are encouraged to keep their resume updated and seek professional development opportunities.

• Associate teachers may not tutor or babysit for students currently in their class.
