Christian School History Teacher: Part Time, Live, Online

Position and What You'll Do

Your core responsibilities:

• Teach live virtual history classes to grades 6-12, forty-five to fifty-five minutes each, one or two times per week, using explicit teaching supported by simulations, debates, reenactments, and student discussion.
• Select or create curriculum for World History, US History, Ancient History, and other periods.
• Weave biblical worldview naturally throughout your lessons, gospel-oriented rather than only character-oriented, helping students see God's sovereignty, providence, and faithfulness across human events.
• Differentiate instruction for mixed-ability classrooms.
• Build authentic relationships with students and their families, especially those who have lost interest in history somewhere along the way.
• Work with students who have special needs.

The Teaching Model

We teach using I do, we do, you do. Direct teaching first, so students have the framework before they are asked to apply it. Guided practice second, where simulations, debates, and reenactments give students something to walk through together with the teacher shaping the experience. Independent work third, where students demonstrate understanding on their own. A well-chosen hook can also open a lesson, giving students an experience to attach the teaching to when it comes. Simulations and experiential activities do not replace explicit teaching. They serve it.

What This Job Is NOT

A lecture-based position. We want a teacher who knows when to teach directly, when to stop teaching, and how to read the room well enough to run a simulation without losing it.

Not project-based learning, unless it is grounded in explicit teaching first. Experiential activities have their place, and history offers many of them, but they pair with direct instruction rather than replace it. We are not constructivists.

Not textbook chapter-by-chapter teaching. There is no rigid scope and sequence. You have creative freedom.

Not a full-time position. If you need forty hours and full benefits for a family of four, this will not meet your needs.

Not for people who need constant direction. You will be supported, but you must take ownership and run.

Not a checkbox Christian role. If biblical worldview integration feels forced or awkward to you, this is not the right fit. We are looking for someone who sees God's hand in history naturally.
