Providence Public Schools District (PPSD) seeks an exceptional MIDDLE SCHOOL STEM TEACHER who is highly qualified and skillful to join our community of teachers, students and stakeholders. This is an exciting opportunity for teachers who seek a challenging yet rewarding teaching experience.

Please be advised that this position requires Structured Literacy Awareness Level within one year of hire.

 

DelSesto MS is engaging in a schoolwide redesign process to improve instructional outcomes and student engagement. DelSesto has identified a STEAM theme for the school that will be embedded in courses and instruction in a myriad of ways

  

The Role

The STEM teacher will teach STEM-themed courses as identified by the principal. To embed the STEAM model in the school, DelSesto anticipates engaging in Project-Based Learning and Inquiry-Based Learning in core courses to engage students, develop 21st century skills and promote the theme. In addition to core courses, DelSesto will offer STEAM-based electives including SEAPERCH Underwater Robotics and PLTW Automation and Robotics. DelSesto intends to partner with Rhode Island Mathematics Engineering and Science Achievement (RIMESA) to offer enrichment and activities in the STEM field.

We serve approximately 22,000 students at 37 elementary, middle, and high schools. Approximately 55% of students come from homes where English is not the primary language spoken. Combined, our students and families speak 55 different languages and hail from 91 countries of origin.

 

In PPSD, the teachers and leaders set high expectations for academic achievement, provide equal access to differentiated instruction, and endeavor to close the achievement and opportunity gap among historically marginalized subgroups within the schools.  PPSD is a great place for those who desire an environment that supports their creativity and ingenuity, and respects their credentials and abilities as a teacher.
