All Saints Day School is currently seeking a (part-time) art history teacher for our middle school students. Opportunities for full-time employment may become available pending additional skills and duties. 

Brief Description of the Art History Program:

The middle school Art History program has been a component of the All Saints’ curriculum since 1978. It is part of the history department, which underscores its focus on the historical context of art, i.e., art and architecture as visual history, rather than exclusively art appreciation. The interdisciplinary curriculum complements but does not duplicate the history curriculum at each grade level. The program is seen as an ideal vehicle for developing students’ visual literacy and higher level thinking skills of analysis, synthesis, and creative application. 

At each grade level, the curriculum includes:

Sixth Prehistoric and ancient civilizations through the Aegean and Early China;

Seventh - Ancient Greek through Renaissance art, including Islamic, West African, and Japanese art of the Middle Ages;

Eighth - 17th Century through the mid-20th century, including Baroque, Colonial American, Romanticism, Impressionism, and Modernism, as well as early photography.

Responsibilities include:

Planning and teaching the 6th-8th-grade art history curriculum 

Differentiating instruction to meet diverse learning needs

Assessing and documenting student progress

Partnering closely with parents and colleagues

Supporting a positive, inclusive classroom environment

Planning and leading end of the year grade level field trips to visit San Francisco museums

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Art History or related field required; teaching credential or advanced degree preferred

Teaching experience in a middle or high school classroom preferred

Strong communication, organizational, and collaboration skills

Position details:

part-time, exempt, benefits-eligible

Salary range: Full time equivalent $68,000-$90,000 

Comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance; a 403(b) retirement plan; paid sick leave; optional employee-funded benefits; and tuition remission for eligible employees’ children enrolled at All Saints.

Professional & Community Responsibilities:

Create a classroom environment in which students feel known, supported, and challenged academically and socially.

Work collaboratively with colleagues to design curriculum, share best practices, and support the school’s program.

Participate actively in faculty meetings, professional development, committees, and school initiatives.

Communicate regularly and effectively with parents through conferences, written reports, and ongoing dialogue.

Model professionalism, ethical behavior, and the conduct expected of students.

Uphold and implement school policies and procedures related to safety, well-being, and student care.

Participate fully in school life, including grade-level events, student performances, admissions events, and key community gatherings.

Assist with coverage and supervision duties (recess, lunch, after-school programs, events) as needed.

Maintain professional growth through school-provided and self-directed professional development.

All Saints Day School believes that every employee contributes meaningfully to the success of the school. While this description outlines primary responsibilities, flexibility and a willingness to support the broader mission of the school are essential.
