Job Description

Founded in 2011, Meridian School is a public, tuition-free charter school open to all students living in Williamson County. As a charter school, we are a school of "choice," offering an inquiry-based curriculum and continuum for the International Baccalaureate Program K-12. Our mission is to "provide an invigorating, educational environment that develops responsible citizens who can artfully navigate our complex world and enjoy a good life with others." Meridian has been recognized by the US News & World Report and others as one of the best schools in Texas.

Job Description

The Language and Literature is a required course taken by middle grade students at Meridian. The aim of this course is to encourage and enable students to develop critical, creative and personal approaches to studying and analyzing literary and non-literary texts. Reading, writing, speaking, listening, presenting, and viewing are the cornerstones of the Language and Literature curriculum.

Through the use of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama, students will be engaged with and explore text from different historical periods and a variety of cultures, applying linguistic and literary concepts and skills in a variety of authentic contexts. The academically rigorous MYP Language and Literature course also equips students with analytical and communication skills that can be used in an interdisciplinary manner across all other subject groups.

Students will continue to develop the ability to constructively analyze their own work as well as the work of others and are encouraged to think critically about context and the effects of the creator's choices on the audience. In addition, students will use oral and written language, and media and technology for expressive, informational, argumentative, critical and literary purposes.
