Job Title: Middle School Science Teacher (Grades Ignite Curiosity in a Dual-Language Environment

Location: 149 N. White Rd, San Jose, CA 95127
FLSA Status: Exempt

Launch a Future of Discovery at a School That Roots for You

At Escuela Popular, we don't just teach science—we cultivate the next generation of critical thinkers, problem-solvers, and innovators. Founded in 1986 as a grassroots community school, we have grown into a vibrant, culturally-rich charter school serving over 800 students in East San Jose. Our unique Two-Way Dual Language Immersion program celebrates bilingualism as a superpower, creating a learning environment where student identity is honored and academic excellence thrives.

We are seeking a dynamic Middle School Science Teacher who is ready to create a classroom where curiosity is king, hypotheses are tested, and every student sees themselves as a scientist.

Your Mission: Transform the Science Classroom into a Lab of Possibilities

In this role, you will be more than a teacher; you will be a facilitator of wonder. You'll design hands-on, inquiry-based experiences that make science relevant and exhilarating for our grades 6-8 students. As a key member of our collaborative team, you will empower students to ask tough questions, explore the world around them, and build the academic foundation for lifelong success.

What You'll Do
  • Design Engaging Curriculum: Develop and deliver rigorous, standards-aligned, and culturally responsive science lessons that spark curiosity and critical thinking.
  • Lead with Hands-On Learning: Foster a love of science through labs, experiments, project-based learning, and real-world applications.
  • Champion Every Student: Use differentiated instruction and formative data to meet the diverse needs of all learners and ensure no one is left behind.
  • Build a Thriving Classroom Community: Create a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment where students feel empowered to take intellectual risks.
  • Partner for Success: Maintain strong, proactive communication with families and actively collaborate with colleagues to support school-wide goals.
  • Grow as an Educator: Engage in professional learning communities, school events, and ongoing professional development to continuously refine your practice.
Who We're Looking For

You Must Have:

  • A Bachelor's degree in Science, Education, or a related field.
  • A valid California Single Subject Teaching Credential in Science.
  • Two current letters of recommendation.

You'll Be a Perfect Fit If You:

  • Hold a Bilingual Authorization (BCLAD/EL) and are fluent in Spanish and English.
  • Have at least one year of teaching experience, preferably in a diverse or dual-language setting.
  • Believe that science is a dynamic, hands-on subject and you can't wait to get students experimenting.
  • Are a reflective practitioner who uses data to drive instruction and possesses a relentless growth mindset.
  • Build strong, authentic relationships with students, families, and colleagues.
  • Are culturally competent and deeply believe in the power of bilingual education and educational equity
Why You'll Love Teaching Here

At Escuela Popular, We believe that great teaching starts with great support. Our educators thrive in a warm, collaborative environment that values connection, creativity, and excellence. With small class sizes, teachers are able to build meaningful relationships with students and tailor instruction to meet individual needs. If you're looking for a school culture rooted in community, growth, and purpose, this is the place to make a lasting impact.

We Offer:

  • A Competitive Salary: Starting at $60,628, commensurate with your experience and expertise.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Full medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage.
  • Time to Recharge: Generous paid sick leave and holiday schedules.
  • Investment in You: Ongoing, high-quality professional development tailored to your growth.
  • A Supportive Culture: Join a mission-driven, collaborative team that feels like family. We support each other to ensure both our students and our staff thrive.
