Short-Term Leave Coverage: Choral Teacher

About the Role

Tabor Academy seeks a compelling and passionate music educator as a temporary, part-time leave replacement in Fall 2026 to teach two sections of Choral Music. Tabor’s Arts Programming offers students the chance to develop as whole people—through opportunities for personal expression that promote healthy development and well-being, as well as through the teaching and honing of discipline-specific skills. Tabor believes that the Arts provide a unique opportunity for students to engage in experiential learning that cultivates their creative problem-solving abilities, helps them become effective communicators, and readies them for life after high school.

This is a temporary, part-time position starting in the fall semester around August 31, 2026, and ending February 3, 2027. There is potential for this position to be extended for the full year. This position does not come with school-provided housing.

• Teach 2 class blocks of choral music per semester: Mixed Chorus, an entry-level course open to all students, and Madrigals Singers, an audition-only course for more advanced choral students. Each class block meets four times per week on a rotating schedule. An accompanist is provided for each class block.
• Collaborate with Admissions, Advancement, fellow Arts teachers, or other departments to plan and coordinate performances for school events.
• Grade student assignments in a timely manner and in alignment with Arts Department grading practices. Submit grades and class comments in accordance with the school communication policy.
• Attend faculty and department meetings as required.
• Model flexibility in implementing best learning practices and pursuing success for each student.
• Demonstrate a high degree of cultural competency and experience working with diverse populations and perspectives.
• Convey patience, empathy, enthusiasm, and optimism in work with adolescents and faculty.
• Exhibit excellent interpersonal, communication (writing, listening, speaking), and organizational skills, and the ability to interact and work effectively with students, parents, faculty, and other employees with professionalism.
