Science Teacher - Elementary School at Success Academy
Nurture students from low-income neighborhoods, fostering scientific thinking and curiosity. A proven curriculum and extensive training prepare scholars for college and leadership.
This position offers unique opportunities for career advancement and skill development in a collaborative and intellectually stimulating environment.
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.
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. We provide you with extensive training and a proven curriculum so you can focus on working with your students instead of building lesson plans.
