Job DescriptionJob Description  
Chemistry teacher 

Summary:

We are seeking a dedicated and passionate Chemistry Teacher to join our team at Kairos Academies High School. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in chemistry, a passion for teaching, and the ability to engage and inspire students. The Chemistry Teacher will be responsible for creating, internalizing, and delivering engaging lesson plans, assessing student understanding, and fostering a positive learning environment. This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic educator to make a meaningful impact on students' lives.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement engaging, standards-aligned unit and lesson plans: to support scholars in achieving proficiency in MLS and NGSS standards for Chemistry.
  • Facilitate high-quality science instruction using a variety of methods, including technology, labs, personalized learning, and project-based learning, to enhance scholars' understanding and interest in Chemistry.
  • Cultivate a positive classroom culture that promotes rigor and enthusiasm for learning Chemistry among scholars.
  • Collaborate with colleagues to align curriculum, share best practices, and support school-wide initiatives.
  • Participate in professional development opportunities to enhance teaching skills and stay current with educational trends.
  • Perform other duties as assigned by school leadership.

The Ideal Candidate Can...

  • Manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously while maintaining a high standard of work and meeting deadlines.
  • Create an inclusive and inquisitive environment that encourages curiosity and collaboration among students and colleagues.
  • Demonstrate creative and flexible problem-solving skills when faced with challenges, while working effectively within a team setting.
  • Provide support to diverse learners to help them achieve their academic and personal goals.
  • Infuse their teaching with creativity and enthusiasm to make learning engaging and enjoyable for students.

Additional Responsibilities:

In addition to role-specific responsibilities, all staff at Kairos "coach" a "pod" of students. Coaching involves checking-in with students 2-3 times throughout the week for 10-15 minutes and updating parents regularly on student progress. Coaches mentor students on executive functioning and social-emotional skills such as setting achievable goals, keeping a to-do list, and navigating the highs and lows of school.

Who We Are
At Kairos, we believe now is the opportune moment (the kairos) to reimagine education for the 21st century. Our schools have been recognized by Forbes, Bellwether Education, NBC Today, Education Week, and others as among the most innovative and highest performing in the nation. But while Kairos schools serve all children, the Kairos Team is not for everyone. We're fast paced and have unusually high expectations. If that sounds too stressful, no hard feelings. But if it sounds fun, if you want to be part of a scrappy startup that's transforming public education in this country...well, let's talk.

Technology Skills
Competence in Microsoft Office applications and ability to use a variety of computer applications and platforms. Ability to use basic office equipment. Knowledge and experience in using a computer-based student Information Management system.

Safety Duties & Responsibilities
Every employee of the School has an obligation to know our safety rules and procedures; to teach what they know to others; to recognize unsafe actions and situations; to warn others of unsafe situations; to react to emergency situations and to report hazardous or unsafe practices to those in a position to correct them.

Qualifications of an Ideal Candidate:

  • Bachelor's degree in Chemistry or a related field (Master's degree preferred)
  • Teaching certification/license in Chemistry (or eligible for certification)
  • Prior experience teaching chemistry at the high school level preferred
  • Strong knowledge of chemistry concepts and the ability to effectively communicate them to students
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively with colleagues and support staff
  • Commitment to equity and inclusion in education

Starting Salary: $48,500 based on experience. To learn more, check out our career pathways

Benefits:

Our commitment to you includes a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package that covers health, dental, and vision. In addition, we offer performance-based stipends, opportunities for education advancement, and a dedication to fostering work-life balance. Our school community is built on diversity and support, with small class sizes and a cozy co-working atmosphere. You'll have access to a range of professional growth opportunities, both on and off-campus, and you'll become part of a network of schools that are fully committed to upholding Love, Equity, Agency, and Diversity.

Schedule:

  • In-person teaching Monday through Friday 7:30am 4:00pm 
    • Some weekends and evenings will be required 

Ability to commute/relocate:

  • Saint Louis, MO 63118: Reliably commute or planning to relocate before starting work (Required). Please note, this is not a remote position. All Kairos teachers are required to deliver in-person instruction onsite, in our school in St. Louis.
