    Job Description

    Uncommon Middle School Science teachers work in grade-level teams to prepare all students with the tools and knowledge to critically engage in the field of science.

    At the heart of all Science courses is a love for the subject and inquiry-based learning, including a robust focus on student discourse and the science practices.

    Science teachers employ a variety of instructional strategies to develop a passion for scientific questioning and analysis in their students.

    Our teachers strive for subject mastery and have a keen sense of the socio-emotional changes middle schoolers experience.

    At the conclusion of eighth grade, students are prepared for the academic autonomy and college preparatory focus of our high schools.
