  • Work collaboratively as an integral member of the Campus Ministry team to provide pastoral care to students and colleagues.
  • Implement the Department’s assessment efforts for program areas being coordinated.
  • Cultivate and enliven the Benedictine value of hospitality through a regular ministry of presence and programming.
  • Engage in active formation in the Benedictine tradition, spirituality and identity in partnership with the Priory monastic community and national and global Benedictine network.
  • Other duties as assigned.

  • Animate a lived-Catholic witness, committed to a Vatican II vision of Church.
  • Exhibit a passion for content knowledge and a range of effective pedagogical approaches.
  • Demonstrate commitment to equitable and culturally responsive teaching practices.
  • Work collaboratively and regularly with colleagues to develop innovative and meaningful curriculum and programming.
  • Integrate technology in effective ways that enhance students’ learning experiences and growth.
  • Take advantage of opportunities for professional growth, leadership, and community building.
  • Serve as an advisor who is committed to the social and emotional development of students.
  • Bring unique skills to contribute to our multifaceted community outside of the classroom (e.g. coaching, moderating a club or Affinity/Alliance group, leading a global trip, speaking multiple languages, etc).
  • Teach students from both the upper school and the middle school with competence, confidence and compassion.
  • Be highly organized and flexible in both curriculum development and classroom management.
  • Other duties as assigned.
