    Responsibilities:

    • Develop and implement engaging, standards-aligned unit and lesson plans: to support scholars in achieving proficiency in MLS and NGSS standards for Chemistry.
    • Facilitate high-quality science instruction using a variety of methods, including technology, labs, personalized learning, and project-based learning, to enhance scholars' understanding and interest in Chemistry.

But if it sounds fun, if you want to be part of a scrappy startup that's transforming public education in this , let's talk.

    Technology Skills
    Competence in Microsoft Office applications and ability to use a variety of computer applications and platforms. Ability to use basic office equipment. Knowledge and experience in using a computer-based student Information Management system.
