What are the responsibilities and job description for the Science Teacher for Elementary Students position at Success Academy?
STEM Education Opportunities Abound
Are you passionate about science and eager to inspire young minds? As a Science Teacher in New York City's top-performing network of 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.
At Success Academy, our Science program ignites a passion in scholars for scientific thinking and curiosity. We develop our scholars as citizens of science, empowering them to engage creatively, critically, and meaningfully with the world around them. 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. As a teacher at Success Academy, you will have 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. This includes writing letters of recommendation at the middle school and high school level.
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. There are also opportunities to enter our school leadership track as an assistant principal as well as to transition to our network office.
