    SY23-24 Chestnut TAG Middle School Computer Science Teacher - Springfield, United States - Springfield Public Schools

    Default job background
    Description

    SY23-24 Chestnut TAG Middle School Computer Science Teacher

    Grade Level: 6-8

    Start Date: TBD

    Are you looking to be part of a school where teachers and administrators are energized by their work?

    Are you looking for a Principal who is hugely invested in the development, diversification and fulfillment of his teachers and staff?

    Do you want to be part of a joyful school with a growth mindset about all students' unlimited potential?

    Do you want to join a team where 80% or more of the staff reflect the identities of the students?

    Do you want to be in a school that teaches students the full truth about our American history, that explicitly teaches about systemic injustices in ways that empower students and staff to take action and make change?

    At our school, we explicitly address and counteract systemic racism through our hiring practices, our culturally responsive teaching, and our professional development focused on championing students who have historically been underserved and under-resourced. We believe that equity lives in teaching rigorous grade-level content and holding students to high expectations. In our school, equity is not a slogan or a buzz word. It is an ongoing commitment to examining how we can best serve all our students (and our staff). As educators we believe that relationships with our students are the foundation on which all social and academic success is built. And, we strengthen our practice through five hours of professional learning per week, built within our 7:20-3:30 school day. Collaboration and peer to-peer learning are central to our growth as educators.

    Make no mistake, this work is challenging. But done right, it is incredibly rewarding. If you are up for the challenge, join our team

    Teaching in SEZP

    SEZP is seeking educators who are excited and ready to make an impact in a collaborative, engaging, diverse, and high energy environment. We are seeking educators who believe teachers are activists - promising instructional access, rigor, advocacy, and a tenacious commitment to anti-racism for all students. SEZP teachers are expected to:

    • Create a safe, purposeful classroom environment that prioritizes learning for all students
    • Collaborate with other teachers, instructional leaders, and partners to ensure instruction is meeting the needs of all students
    • Assess students regularly, analyze data, and determine appropriate next steps for instruction
    • Ensure that instruction meets the needs of all students, including students with special needs, English Language Learners, and students performing below grade level
    • Build relationships and communicate regularly with students and their families to solicit input and share academic progress
    • Engage in learning about issues of racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion in education to examine your own biases; reflect on how those biases affect you, your students, and their families; and plan and deliver instruction in a culturally responsive way
    • Participate in and learn from regular professional development opportunities before and during the school year

    School/Role Specific expectations :

    • Design and teach project-based IT classes to students
    • Collaborating with IT partners
    • Designing and maintaining simulation labs and tinker spaces in the school

    Qualifications

    • Experience teaching Computer Science at the middle school level preferred
    • Appropriate content/program area and grade level educator license from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education required (Educators who are not yet licensed by MA DESE in the appropriate content/program area and grade level may be eligible for a licensure waiver and are still encouraged to apply.)
    • Experience as an active anti-racist or advocate for equity preferred
    • Bilingual in English and Spanish preferred
    • Bachelor's degree required

    If you meet some of the qualifications above, we encourage you to apply or to reach out for more information. We know that historically marginalized groups – including people of color, women, people from working class backgrounds, and people who identify as LGBTQ – are less likely to apply unless and until they meet every requirement for a job. Therefore, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized communities.

    We encourage you to reach out to if you have questions about the role or your qualifications. We are happy to help you feel ready to apply
