What are the responsibilities and job description for the Science Teacher position at Success Academy?
As a Science Teacher at Success Academy, you will inspire and educate elementary school students in scientific literacy through a comprehensive and engaging curriculum. You'll be part of a dedicated team that focuses on fostering critical thinking and curiosity in young scholars from diverse backgrounds.
This role offers opportunities for professional growth and leadership, aimed at preparing students for future academic success.
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.
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 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. We also place a strong emphasis on scientific literacy, with special attention to reading, writing, and data literacy.
A background in education is not required. At Success Academy, we provide you with extensive training and a proven curriculum so you can focus on working with your students instead of building lesson plans.
Success Academy gives you unparalleled opportunities to gain valuable professional skills and advance rapidly with leadership opportunities available both in the classroom and outside.
Opportunities include:
- Assessing and analyzing data to chart your students' growth and achievement, and tailoring your own teaching methods accordingly
- Engaging in professional development opportunities with school leaders to benefit from targeted, in-the-moment feedback and coaching to improve your performance
- Entering our school leadership track as an assistant principal or transitioning to our network office
To succeed in this role, you will need:
- 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)
- The ability to work in person in New York City ($2500 stipend for qualified relocations)
We welcome applicants who share our passion for making a difference in the lives of our students. If you are a motivated and collaborative individual who is passionate about education, please apply today!
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our organization. We actively seek applications from people of all backgrounds to strengthen our community and the perspectives needed to flourish in a multicultural world.
