Job Description:

Meridian is seeking a full-time teacher with a strong background in biology and chemistry and an interest in teaching and co-teaching integrated STEM classes.

  • Teaching and co-teaching 3 integrated sections (2 preparations). Creating activities that help students develop academic skills, make connections between ideas, master essential knowledge, and grow in their curiosity and creativity.
  • Modeling for students what original research is like; mentoring students one-on-one with their research projects.
  • Advising students and communicating with their families.
  • Developing and implementing methods of assessment that accurately reflect each student's progress with skills, content, and habits of mind.
  • Using the broader resources of Boston and its environs as an extended classroom. Qualifications:
    • Preferred: Two or more years teaching science at the secondary level.
    • A bachelor's degree in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, or a related discipline.
    • Experience and/or interest in working with both middle and high school-age
    • A flexible and energetic personality that can work productively in a changing and growing school environment.
