Job Title: Middle School Science Teacher

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

We have proudly built schools that reflect our student population, with more than 60% of our teachers and staff across our network identifying as a person of color.

We are proud that Uncommon graduates persist in and graduate from college at five times the rate of their peers nationally.

We achieve this by offering strong academic, co-curricular, and social-emotional learning that prepares students for success in college and beyond.

Job Description

As a Middle School Science Teacher at Uncommon Schools, you will work in grade-level teams to prepare all students with the tools and knowledge to critically engage in the field of science.

At the heart of all Science courses is a love for the subject and inquiry-based learning, including a robust focus on student discourse and the science practices.

Science teachers employ a variety of instructional strategies to develop a passion for scientific questioning and analysis in their students.

Our teachers strive for subject mastery and have a keen sense of the socio-emotional changes middle schoolers experience.

At the conclusion of eighth grade, students are prepared for the academic autonomy and college preparatory focus of our high schools.

Responsibilities

  1. Instruction

    You'll teach an interdisciplinary, NGSS-aligned curriculum that includes analysis of key areas including but not limited to: Climate and Earth's systems, the cosmos, matter and energy transformations, electricity and magnetism, and molecular and ecological systems.

    You'll use your love of science to foster confidence and meaningful engagement with the subject for students.

    You'll cultivate an awareness of the interconnected nature of fields of science (e.g., ecosystems, climate change, and lunar phases) and our local and global community.

  2. Data Analysis

    You'll meet weekly with your principal and/or instructional coach to analyze and respond to trends in student work samples and assessments.

    You'll learn and implement strategies to differentiate instruction for all learners in your classroom.

  3. School Culture

    You'll build positive relationships with students to ensure they feel seen, loved, and heard.

    You'll partner with students' families to ensure appropriate resources are available to support their child's learning needs.

    You'll engage in practice-based professional development, mentorship, and coaching sessions.

    You'll participate in weekly, school-wide meetings to cultivate community, model our core values, and encourage student achievement.

    You'll partner with your grade level team to develop academic goals and practice instructional strategies.
