• Manage a safe and organized laboratory environment for student exploration.

• Partner effectively with a co‑teacher to provide inclusive instruction.
• Utilize various co‑teaching models (e.g., station teaching, parallel teaching, team teaching) to meet the diverse needs of all learners.
• Collaborate on lesson planning, assessment design, and data analysis to ensure equitable access to the curriculum.

• Lead small‑group math intervention sessions designed to bridge foundational gaps.
• Use data‑driven insights to monitor student progress and adjust instructional strategies accordingly.
• Integrate mathematical thinking into the science classroom to reinforce cross‑curricular skills.

• Certification: Valid IL State Teaching License with a Middle School Science endorsement (Math endorsement or experience preferred).
• Curriculum Expertise: Strong working knowledge of the NGSS framework and evidence‑based math intervention strategies.
• Mindset: A commitment to the co‑teacher model and a "growth mindset" regarding student achievement in both STEM and literacy.
• Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills for collaborating with teaching partners and communicating with families.
