Bridge Charter Academy is a growing charter school seeking to fill a full-time (201-day contract) licensed or actively pursuing licensure, high school educator role (Subject Area Specialist) for the 2025-26 academic year.
Subject area specialists (SAS) are BCA's licensed teachers for their subjects and participate in the high school program through the lens of their subject area. SASs have the opportunity to provide their perspective on course content, state standards, pedagogy, and contribute to decisions around how a subject area curriculum is used by families (i.e., details for coursework submissions, grading, etc.). SASs teach weekly in-person Bridge Classes that supplement students' work at home, and have autonomy to develop the ways in which their subject area classes are implemented at Bridge Charter Academy within the BCA mission and vision. They maintain accurate student grade records, research relevant and varied teaching strategies, and build a pool of knowledge on the different subject area curricula. Families and SASs partner with each other to support student learning in their subject area curriculum, a process in which the SAS prioritizes balancing rigor and motivation.
The Fine Arts, World Language, and CTE Subject Area Specialist oversees and supports students in independent learning within the Fine Arts, World Language, and CTE subject areas. The role involves both asynchronous and synchronous education. Asynchronous education is managed through Canvas courses while synchronous education is presented during weekly in-person classes.
