 The Blake School is a pre-kindergarten through grade 12, co-educational, nonsectarian, independent day school in Minnesota. We have two openings for Teacher Librarians for the 2019-2020 school year.    

We are looking for a creative and engaged Middle School Teacher Librarian for our school in Hopkins, MN and a Lower School (Elementary) Teacher Librarian for our school in Wayzeta, MN to provide full-time leadership and expertise in our library media program for the 2019-20 school year.

 The ideal candidates will have experience empowering students to be critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, ethical users of information, and skilled researchers across both print and digital resources. The successful candidates will have an extensive knowledge of diverse voices in young adult literature, a demonstrated ability to promote literacy among students, experience partnering with middle school teachers, and the managerial acumen to administer library operations including collection management, programming, and volunteer opportunities. Each teacher librarian will collaborate closely with faculty to develop student-centered approaches to teaching research skills, and connect reading, writing, and inquiry to model and promote intercultural and global competency skills by using digital communication and collaboration tools to interact locally and globally. Part of this work will include growing the digital citizenship curriculum. 

 

Qualifications: Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree in a related field such as secondary education. A valid teaching certificate or license such as School Library Media Specialist, or a master’s degree in library science is preferred.  Blake is particularly interested in candidates who will enrich the diversity of identity, lived experience and thinking that makes a community strong and empowers students to engage across differences.
