Who We Are:
A coeducational private day school serving Grades 6-12, Stratford Preparatory builds on 24 years of creating outstanding educational outcomes for our students in Preschool to Grade 8, by expanding Stratford School’s mission through high school. Our campus is located on Blackford Avenue in San Jose. We welcomed our first class of high school students in Grade 9 in 2022 and have grown to include Grade 11 for the current school year.
Stratford School’s purpose, “Connecting students to their unique futures,” reflects our commitment to showing young people how they can successfully and independently develop the knowledge, skills, and depth of character they need to thrive in a transforming world. Stratford Preparatory provides a rigorous and engaging college preparatory curriculum that focuses on real-world application of engineering, technology, and leadership skills, while also providing students opportunities to be confident learners, generous in spirit, and eager to follow their passions.
What We're Looking For:
At Stratford Preparatory, teachers change lives. They are genuine, curious, passionate, striving, generous, and accountable individuals. They nurture, inspire, engage, and challenge students, modeling the path to ethical, happy, purposeful lives in a diverse and multicultural community.
In this teaching position, you will use your passion for the subject to inspire and teach higher-level content than what is typical of secondary students. You will work collaboratively with other teachers to create a learning culture in which diverse perspectives are challenged and tested in an environment of informed thought and collegiality.
As a Computer Science teacher, you will have the opportunity to present the material preparing our students for higher education and beyond, in a way that will best enhance student understanding and excitement for the subject. Topics covered include computational systems, mathematical models and computational theory, design strategies and methodologies, organization of data, and algorithms.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Construct learning experiences and assessments that challenge students, support the diversity of learners in each classroom, and demonstrate a strong commitment to the development of complex knowledge and advanced skills.
- Collaborate with other teachers and staff members to strengthen the community of smart, talented, and creative people who are passionate and willing to work in a professional and academic environment.
- Teach higher-level content than grade standards in creative and interactive ways that display your passion for the subject and educate students at an internationally competitive level.
- Mentor students to foster academic achievement, personal responsibility, and individuality in all students.
- Keep parents informed about the learning of their children, and be proactive in communication with parents.
Qualifications:
Our ideal candidate is an experienced professional with the following qualities:
- A bachelor’s degree (master’s preferred) in a field of study in or related to computer science
- At least 2+ years of teaching experience at the high school or college level
- Proficiency in programming languages(s) - Python, Java, Javascript, C, C++
- Ability to absorb, synthesize, and present ideas, texts, and concepts with precision and confidence from diverse disciplines
- Eagerness to build supportive relationships with students in and beyond the classroom
- A willingness to work actively and collaboratively with colleagues on curriculum development and alignment
- A willingness to try innovative teaching strategies and formats. Ability to implement differentiated learning/instruction as required
- A commitment to continuous professional growth and an enthusiasm for lifelong learning
- An ability to create and promote an inclusive learning environment
- Strong organizational and time management skills
Benefits and Salary: The salary for this position is competitive and dependent on education and experience. Stratford Preparatory, a Spring Education Group school, offers a comprehensive benefits package which includes:
- Career Growth - We believe our people deserve every opportunity to utilize and expand their knowledge and skills, and to share their passions. From our classrooms to central operations, our culture is one of continuous learning, mentorship, and professional advancement in our schools or across our network.
- Retirement - Your future financial well-being is important to us. We offer a solid 401K plan.
- Health Insurance - We want you to have the care you need. We offer several medical plans to choose from, as well as dental and vision insurance.
- Flexible Spending - Because health, childcare, and travel expenses can add up, we offer an FSA that allows for pre-tax dollars to cover medical, dependent care, and transit.
