HS English Teacher

Gore, OK

Gore Public Schools is seeking a motivated, student-centered High School English Teacher to join our team. This teacher should recognize the importance of building strong foundational English skills while challenging students to think critically, communicate effectively, and become confident readers and writers. The ideal candidate will make ACT readiness an intentional part of instruction rather than something reserved for occasional test preparation. At Gore Public Schools, we believe in working together, supporting one another, and doing what is best for kids. We are looking for someone who wants to be part of a team committed to raising expectations and helping every student reach their potential.

Position Responsibilities:
- Deliver engaging, standards-based English instruction aligned with the Oklahoma Academic Standards (OAS).
- Incorporate ACT-aligned instruction and intentional ACT preparation into daily classroom instruction.
- Place a strong emphasis on grammar, mechanics, vocabulary, sentence structure, reading comprehension, and effective writing.
- Prepare students for the English, Reading, and Writing components of the ACT through targeted instruction, practice, and test-taking strategies.
- Develop students' critical thinking, analytical reading, writing, and communication skills.
- Use assessment data to identify student needs, monitor progress, and adjust instruction to improve student achievement.
- Provide rigorous instruction that prepares students for college, career, and life after graduation.
- Collaborate with colleagues to support vertical alignment, curriculum development, and consistent expectations across grade levels.
- Establish a positive, structured classroom environment that promotes student engagement, accountability, and academic growth.
