    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.

    You'll develop students' practices of questioning, modeling, constructing explanations, data analysis, argumentation, and planning and conducting interactive labs.
    You'll use your love of science to foster confidence and meaningful engagement with the subject for students.

    You'll cultivate an awareness of the interconnected nature of fields of science (e.g., ecosystems, climate change, and lunar phases) and our local and global community.
