Foster-Glocester Regional School District is currently accepting applications for a highly effective Music/Chorus Teacher who wants to work as a collaborative member of a team to lead and support our high-performing middle school.

Our learning community of educators, students, and parents is one of the best kept secrets in RI. Located in scenic Northwest Rhode Island, Ponaganset Middle School serves approximately 420 students. Our school is staffed by a dedicated team committed to advancing learning and teaching in a collaborative, relevant, and personalized 1:1 blended learning environment.

Ponaganset Middle School is a member of the Association for Middle Level Education, New England League of Middle Schools and fully embraces middle-level practices. The current school building was built and opened the doors to students in September 2007. Our middle school has six team suites (a group of five classrooms organized around a central meeting room) to support and enhance our middle school teams.

We have strong academic, music unified arts, and athletic programs.

The school sits on more than 50 acres of a living campus that supports learning in and out of school. Our school has built in common planning time for teachers, advisory for students, an enrichment period, and supports for students who are struggling and students who excel. During the  school year we completed a multi-year plan to purchase mobile technology (Chromebooks) for our students and staff to cultivate a blended learning environment.

All students in grades 6-12 are issued a device making our middle school and high school 1:1 blended learning environments. Our teachers and students are actively using technology to support student's mastery of desired knowledge and skills.

In order to enhance learning and teaching and involve parents in the education of their children our school district uses a Learning Management System (LMS) that provides a virtual space for student and teacher collaboration and enables teachers and staff to produce lessons, assignments, communicate with students and families, and to run analytics that provide information on student performance and the frequency and timeliness of their educational activity.

Through sound fiscal management, our school district has been able to reallocate resources to meet student and adult needs. We have added numerous courses designed to prepare our students for college and careers. Our students and teachers have the benefit of learning and teaching in an environment that is well resourced with instructional materials.

In short, Ponaganset Middle School is one of the more progressive schools in Rhode Island. For information about our schools and community visit our website .k12.ri.us.
