Elementary School Science Teacher at Success Academy

Ignite students' passion for scientific thinking and foster their engagement with various scientific disciplines as an Elementary School Science Teacher at Success Academy. With a focus on rigorous education, help prepare children from diverse backgrounds to become self-assured thinkers and leaders.

You will have opportunities for career advancement and skill development while making a profound social impact in the community.

Thanks for your interest in joining our network of public charter schools in New York City. We work tirelessly every day to ensure each child has access to a fun, rigorous, whole-child education regardless of zip code or economic status.

As a science teacher in our top-performing K-12 charter schools, you will join a team of professionals committed to teaching and preparing children from low-income neighborhoods to be self-assured thinkers and leaders, capable of exploring and debating sophisticated ideas, and ready for college and whatever they set their sights on.

We develop scholars as citizens of science, empowering them to engage creatively, critically, and meaningfully with the world around them in ways that are endlessly fascinating, complex, and philosophical.

Scholars engage flexibly with different scientific disciplines, compelling them to see engineering, physics, mathematics, chemistry, and biology as all interdependent.

A background in education is not required. We provide extensive training and a proven curriculum so you can focus on working with your students instead of building lesson plans.

We give you unparalleled opportunities to gain valuable professional skills and advance rapidly with leadership opportunities available both in the classroom and outside.

• Sharpen your communication skills and develop strong, meaningful relationships with students, their families, and your peers and mentors.
• Become a highly skilled problem solver able to tackle challenges in and out of the classroom.
• Learn to assess and analyze data to chart your students' growth and achievement, and tailor your own teaching methods accordingly.
• Engage in professional development opportunities with school leaders to benefit from targeted, in-the-moment feedback and coaching to improve your performance.
• Have the opportunity to grow as a leader and ultimately a leader of the entire grade team.

Minimum qualifications include:

• A bachelor's degree before your first day of work with Success Academy.
• A rigorous and relevant academic major (i.e., biology, chemistry, physics, engineering).
• Ability to work in person in New York City ($2500 stipend for qualified relocations).
• Supervise a classroom of 20 students.

We look for individuals who possess drive for excellence, confidence and presence, passion for content, planning and organizational skills, emotional intelligence, learner mentality, and grit and determination.
