What is teaching?

Teaching is the practice of imparting knowledge, skills, and values to students in a formal or informal educational setting. Teachers create lesson plans, deliver instruction, assess student progress, and adapt their methods to meet the needs of individual learners. Their role is crucial in fostering intellectual growth, critical thinking, and personal development. Teaching can occur in schools, colleges, universities, or through online and community education programs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a teacher, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Teacher, you need expertise in subject matter, lesson planning, and classroom management, typically supported by a bachelor's degree and state teaching certification. Familiarity with educational technology, learning management systems, and assessment tools is often required. Strong communication, patience, and adaptability are essential soft skills for effectively engaging students and addressing diverse learning needs. These skills ensure a positive learning environment and promote student success and development.

What are some common challenges teachers face when managing classrooms, and how do schools typically support them?

Teachers often encounter challenges such as maintaining student engagement, addressing diverse learning needs, and managing classroom behavior. Many schools support teachers through ongoing professional development, access to classroom management resources, and mentorship programs. Collaboration with colleagues and support staff is also encouraged, allowing teachers to share strategies and seek advice. Building positive relationships with students and setting clear expectations can further help manage these challenges effectively.

Description

About Play On Philly 

Play On Philly (POP) is a non-profit organization that provides daily, after-school music instruction to over 300 K-12 students. We work in communities that historically have had little or no access to formal music education. 


POP is always looking for passionate, committed, and social justice minded music educators! Although there may not be a current opening that fits your experience, as our programming continues to grow, so does the need for qualified Teaching Artists. Applying to this position allows us to start the conversation for future positions and expand our bench of substitutes who may be available on an as-needed basis.


Job Description

Teaching Artists (TA) work collaboratively and independently to ensure students are making steady progress on their instruments, music literacy skills, and repertoire and can manage their class to create a safe, welcoming, and rigorous environment in their classrooms and at their Music Center, at-large. All POP TAs are responsible for encouraging students to adhere to the POP rules and guidelines for student citizenship.
 

As POP team members, TAs actively participate in professional development and continued education to cultivate and hone their teaching skills. TAs receive regular feedback and coaching on their job performance. Successful candidates are interested in cultivating their skills in group instrumental teaching and are excited to grow. 


This role is supervised by the Music Center's Program Coordinator and works in partnership with the Program Manager, Music Director, and other POP TAs within specific instrument families. We are looking for lifelong learners, and collaboratively natured individuals who enjoy and have experience working with school-aged children (K-12), are creative, and can problem-solve and multi-task. 


A successful candidate:

  • You are passionate about music education.
  • You are calm under pressure.
  • You have experience with teaching groups of five or more students at once.
  • You are excited to serve a community through music. 

Requirements

  • You are a professional musician.
  • You have at least one year of formal music teaching experience with young people.
  • You can work occasional nights and weekends as required.
  • You have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.


Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

POP is committed to being a diverse and inclusive workplace and is actively trying to attract a wide pool of candidates. Discrimination against race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age, disability or genetic information is both illegal and against our organization's values. As part of our Commitment to Cultural Equity and Anti-Racism, POP is working to understand who is applying to our open positions. Your responses will help us to evaluate and improve our current practices. If you feel comfortable volunteering your demographic details strictly for informational purposes, you will be invited to respond to the optional section in the job application.
 

Our Community

POP is rooted in the community of Philadelphia. We welcome all applicants and invite our local community members to apply. We want to hear from you!
