**INTRODUCTION**:

- Inspire Learning & Build our better world._

The purpose of AISJ is to provide exceptional educational experiences in a diverse and nurturing environment in order to inspire learning and build our better world. We cultivate an inclusive community of learners so that we empower global citizens to fulfil their future purpose.

**COMMUNITY PRINCIPLES**:
The American International School of Johannesburg fosters a positive school culture, aspires to create a sense of belonging for everyone, and is committed to Community Principles that include:

- _We are better when we act together._
- _Our differences make us stronger._
- _Every voice counts. Every voice matters._
- _Every team needs individuals. Every individual needs a team._

The American International School of Johannesburg is committed to fostering justice, equity, diversity and inclusion throughout our school community, and we are continually furthering our practices and behaviors as we strive to live these ideals.

**Position overview**

AISJ is dedicated to providing a student-centered, collaborative, and transdisciplinary approach to learning. Such an approach will best prepare and empower students to become responsible lifelong learners and competent, compassionate individuals.

The Middle School Social Studies and Language Arts teacher will serve as a core member of the Middle School team, fulfilling the school’s vision, mission, and core values. This position requires an acute understanding of the developmental needs of middle school learners and a desire to work with and advocate for this age group.

The philosophy of the Middle School Social Studies Department is to develop deeply engaged, connected learners who are curious, independent, and open-minded. Emphasizing critical thinking, research, and communication skills, the Social Studies curriculum is fully concept-based. As such, Social Studies explores questions that are ancient yet perennial, transcending time, place, and culture. In this way, students learn how the study of history is relevant to them and the world we live in. Social Studies is also highly personalized, as students have choice in terms of the content they use to further explore and understand these larger concepts and questions. Social Studies is anchored to the AERO Common Core Plus Standards.

While AISJ is committed to developing a workshop approach for Middle School Language Arts based on the principles, practices and structures taught Lucy Calkins and Columbia Teacher’s College. AISJ is dedicated to providing a student-centred, collaborative and cross
