What are the responsibilities and job description for the STEM Instructor Life Science position at Pacific Buddhist Academy?
Pacific Buddhist Academy seeks a talented, highly qualified STEM/Life Sciences teacher to teach life sciences and math courses to high school students.
PBA utilizes a “physics first” science curriculum that culminates in the senior year in either a more advanced engineering-focused physics experience or a conservation-focused environmental science experience in the senior year as part of PBA’s senior year program. Because of PBA’s mission of peace and Buddhist values, the science and “peace core” lines of courses focus on conservation and human effects on the environment.
The schools emphasizes opportunities for seniors to apply academics through action research and community engagement as conducted in various disciplines. Seniors participate as a cohort in seminars spanning environmental science/engineering, language arts, history and philosophy, and social science, in addition to life skills seminars designed to ready them for their lives as adults.
