The Learning Community, a vibrant public charter school that centers the voices of students, families, and teachers, seeks a collaborative, dedicated 7th Grade Science teacher who holds high expectations for all students. We believe that literacy empowers each individual to have a voice, take social action and assume community responsibility. We grow teacher leaders, student leaders and community leaders.

In this role, you will mentor students to explore and apply science through technology, research, and collaboration while also utilizing hands‑on learning such as labs, field trips, and connecting science to everyday life and global challenges to deepen their understanding and prepare them for learning beyond a textbook.

• Planning for and executing high‑quality lessons that move students toward academic and socio‑emotional learning outcomes.
• Teaching content classes for all sections of 7th grade.
• Leading an advisory and teaching SEL lessons.
• Teaching DEI/Seminar class once a week for advisory.
• Teaching Accelerated Learning Lab (a time for students to receive targeted support in learning gaps) four times per week for a small group of students.
• Supporting with study halls and recess each week.
• Collaborating with grade level and content teams.
• Collaborating with fellow colleagues to review student data and use it to improve instruction.
• Completing teacher’s administrative tasks that help the school move forward, such as student attendance and behavioral data entry in Kickboard, and similar work in a timely and accurate manner.
• Building relationships with families through positive phone calls, updates about student progress and behavior, and being responsive to concerns.
• Participating in school‑wide and middle‑grade‑wide responsibilities and events as needed (ranging from arrival/dismissal duties, an advisory period each day, parent‑teacher conferences to whole‑team planning meetings, in‑service learning days, and our summer in‑service in August).
• Meeting with coaches, your manager, and others as needed to receive feedback on your performance, and acting on that feedback.
• Other duties to support the success of your students and our school (no more than 5% of your role).

• Strong teaching abilities, especially with middle‑grade students. Teachers create safe, engaging, and rigorous learning environments, communicate with students, nuance their teaching approach, and hold them accountable for their own learning.
• Deep knowledge of the subject matter you’ll be teaching, along with a commitment to staying current on your content area to raise the bar for your teaching and students.
• Reliability, collaboration, and consistency as a colleague. Teachers work closely together, plan weekly, and build on each other’s strengths to support student goals, while maintaining healthy communication and conflict resolution.
• Strong problem‑solving skills, resilience, creativity, and an adaptable approach to challenges, always keeping student safety and respect foremost.
• Strong emotional intelligence and communication skills, especially in conflict or for difficult decisions, to acknowledge mistakes, repair harm, and move forward together with leaders, team members, students, and families.
