Uncommon Schools is a network of high-performing, public charter schools dedicated to providing an outstanding K-12 education in historically under-resourced communities.

We strive to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization that enables our students and staff to thrive. Our mission is to close the achievement gap and prepare our students for success in college and beyond.

About the Role

We are seeking a dedicated and passionate Middle School Science Teacher to join our team at Rochester Prep. As a Science Teacher, you will work in a grade-level team to prepare all students with the tools and knowledge to critically engage in the field of science.

You will employ a variety of instructional strategies to develop a passion for scientific questioning and analysis in your students. Our Science curriculum is interdisciplinary and NGSS-aligned, covering key areas such as climate and Earth's systems, the cosmos, matter and energy transformations, electricity and magnetism, and molecular and ecological systems.

Responsibilities
  • Teach an NGSS-aligned Science curriculum to middle school students
  • Develop students' practices of questioning, modeling, constructing explanations, data analysis, argumentation, and planning and conducting interactive labs
  • Cultivate an awareness of the interconnected nature of fields of science and our local and global community
  • Partner with students' families to ensure appropriate resources are available to support their child's learning needs
  • Participate in weekly, school-wide meetings to cultivate community, model our core values, and encourage student achievement
  • Partner with your grade level team to develop academic goals and practice instructional strategies
Requirements
  • A commitment to the mission of Uncommon Schools and investment in our vision for being an anti-racist organization
  • A demonstrated commitment to supporting students' social emotional and academic development
  • A demonstrated interest in impacting K-12 students in urban schools and communities (1-2 years experience preferred)
  • Academic expertise in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, or other related fields of study
  • Prior to the start of employment, you must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university
What We Offer

We believe our compensation philosophy and benefits should reflect our values—equity, transparency, and clarity—to enhance our ability to attract and retain talent and reward their expertise.

Our staff receive best-in-class training, coaching, and support to develop and operate mission-driven schools that provide a high-quality education to our students and families.

The starting pay will depend on various factors including but not limited to relevant professional experience, education, certifications, and tenure with Uncommon Schools.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including generous paid time off, pre-tax flexible spending and health saving accounts, financial planning & wellness, 403(b) retirement savings program + employer match, 529 college savings program, Public Service Loan Forgiveness application assistance, and financial planning tools and assistance.

We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to building an exceptional team that reflects the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our students. We also strive to ensure an inclusive community by creating a space for meaningful dialogue about issues of race and identity for our staff and students.
