Middle School Technology Teacher

 

Position Overview:

AoA is seeking a Middle School Technology teacher committed to delivering a high level, engaging curriculum that supports all students to be successful. 

 

Who We Are:

AoA is a community of professionals committed to serving ALL students well and who continually strive to close the opportunity gap so that a student’s demographic markers are not predictors of their success.   We accomplish this by offering a rigorous, socially conscious, student-centered education that prioritizes students’ academic and social-emotional development.  We believe that collaboration on a deep level is necessary in order to achieve our mission and serve our community well.

 

Our Mission:  

The Academy of Alameda is an equity-centered public school that equips ALL students with the critical thinking skills, knowledge, mindset, and personal qualities so that they are on track for success in college and are inspired to affect change in their communities.

 

An Ideal Candidate Will:

  • Be committed to supporting students with high needs and believe that all students can be successful at high levels and that a student’s academic success should not be determined by their race or ethnicity, socio-economic status, gender, sexual preference, etc.
  • Have a student-focused lens and continually seek to build strong relationships with students and their families. Utilize restorative practices with students.
  • Value community and collaboration with other teachers, and supporting staff members
  • Be a successful teacher – strong in content knowledge, culturally responsive practices, skilled at curriculum development. Experience with competency-based learning is a plus. 
  • Reflect deeply and often about how to grow and develop instructional practices in order to impact student learning. Be open to coaching and feedback to improve practice.
  • Be passionate about promoting equity and social justice in their practice, and incorporate themes of social justice into the curriculum, including narratives that have been silenced throughout history.
