Language Arts Teacher Jobs

A Language Arts Teacher in secondary education is responsible for the instruction of English Literature, Reading, Writing, and other language-related topics to students from Grade 6 to 12. Their duties include preparing lesson plans, conducting classes, providing one-on-one guidance to students, grading assignments, and tests, as well as collaborating with other educators to integrate cross-curricular instruction. They are also tasked with fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment that nurtures students' language development skills, encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and promoting cultural appreciation through literature.

Important skills for a Language Arts Teacher include strong communication, patience, creativity, and organizational abilities. They should be adept at classroom management and able to accommodate diverse learning styles. Relevant certifications can include a Bachelor's degree in English or a related field, a teaching credential, and in many states, a Master's degree in Education is often preferred or required. Prior to becoming a Language Arts Teacher, a person may hold roles such as a Teacher's Assistant, a Tutor, or an English Literature Instructor at a smaller scale like a tuition center.
