    Description

    Uncommon Schools is a nonprofit network of high-performing, public charter schools providing an outstanding K-12 education in historically under-resourced communities.

    We have proudly built schools that reflect our student population, with more than 60% of our teachers and staff across our network identifying as a person of color.

    Uncommon currently manages 53 schools serving more than 20,000 students in five cities:

    We are proud that Uncommon graduates persist in and graduate from college at five times the rate of their peers nationally.

    We achieve this by offering strong academic, co-curricular, and social-emotional learning that prepares students for success in college and beyond.

    Camden Prep currently manages four schools serving students in grade K through 10 (growing to grade 12).

    We believe in strong authentic relationships between teachers and students, supported by effective school systems and an engaging instructional model that enables students to flourish academically and personally.

    Camden Prep is consistently the highest performing of all district or Renaissance schools in Camden, NJ.

    Uncommon High School Science teachers work collaboratively across the network to prepare all students with the tools and knowledge to critically engage in the field of science and develop them into self-directed learners.

    At the heart of all Science courses is 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 prepare all students such that they have the choice to study and excel in any STEM discipline.

    We prepare all students to be citizen scientists that have the tools and knowledge to critically engage in the field of science regardless of their university major or professional career.

    Our teachers become experts in their course content and have a keen sense of how to motivate and inspire high school students.

    You'll teach a curriculum that includes, but is not limited to, analysis of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Environmental Sciences that prepares students for Advanced Placement (AP) and collegiate level coursework.

    You'll develop students' practices skills of questioning, modeling, constructing explanations, data analysis, argumentation, and planning and conducting interactive labs.

    You'll create an environment where students feel confident using their voice to engage in scientific discourse.

    You will facilitate student-led discourse, during which students use evidence to make sophisticated claims and synthesize and critique arguments.

    You'll facilitate student-led inquiry of various scientific topics and engage students in lab and project-based performance tasks.
    You'll work with the Science department to determine academic and engagement goals for students.
    Data Analysis
    School Culture
    You'll partner with students' families to ensure appropriate resources are available to support their child's learning needs.
    You'll participate in weekly, school-wide meetings to cultivate community, model our core values, and encourage student achievement.
    You'll partner with your grade level team to develop academic goals and practice instructional strategies.
    A commitment to the mission of Uncommon Schools and investment in our vision for being an anti-racist organization
    A demonstrated commitment to supporting students' social emotional and academic development
    A demonstrated interest in impacting K-12 students in urban schools and communities (1-2 years experience preferred).
    Academic expertise in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, or other related fields of study.
    Prior to the start of employment, you must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.

    Teacher certification is not a prerequisite for consideration at Uncommon Schools in the state of NJ, but you do need to meet NJ state certification eligibility requirements (a final undergraduate or graduate cumulative GPA of 3.0 for graduates on or after 9/1/16, or 2.75 if you graduated prior to 9/1/16).

    All instructional staff are required to become certified in the state of New Jersey within a reasonable period after beginning employment.

    We believe our compensation philosophy and benefits should reflect our values—equity, transparency, and clarity—to enhance our ability to attract and retain talent and reward their expertise.

    Our staff receive best-in-class training, coaching, and support to develop and operate mission-driven schools that provide a high-quality education to our students and families.

    The starting pay will depend on various factors including but not limited to relevant professional experience, education, certifications, and tenure with Uncommon Schools.

    Because we value staff tenure in a role, we do not currently cap salary ranges for current staff members.
    Generous paid time off inclusive of sick time and school breaks (spring, winter, and summer) + additional sustainability half days throughout the school year

We also strive to ensure an inclusive community by creating a space for meaningful dialogue about issues of race and identity for our staff and students.
