Join Our Team as a 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.

Our mission is to close the academic achievement gap and prepare students for success in college and beyond.

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

About the Role

We are seeking a highly qualified and passionate Middle School Science Teacher to join our team at Camden Prep.

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

You will develop students' practices of questioning, modeling, constructing explanations, data analysis, argumentation, and planning and conducting interactive labs.

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

You will 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.

Responsibilities
  • 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.
  • 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 (e.g., ecosystems, climate change, and lunar phases) 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.
  • Teacher certification is not a prerequisite for consideration at Uncommon Schools in the state of NJ, but you do need to meet NJ state certification eligibility requirements (a final undergraduate or graduate cumulative GPA of 3.0 for graduates on or after 9/1/16, or 2.75 if you graduated prior to 9/1/16).
What We Offer

We offer competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits that support the personal health, wellness, and finances of our staff and their 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 also offer generous paid time off, including sick time and school breaks (spring, winter, and summer) + additional sustainability half days throughout the school year.

Additionally, we provide extensive, best-in-class training and development, pre-tax flexible spending and health saving accounts, financial planning & wellness, New Jersey Pension program, 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.
