Middle School Computer Literacy Educator:
Architect of Digital Agency

In Ferguson-Florissant, we know that our students are "digital natives," but our mission is to make them "digital masters." We are looking for a forward‑thinking Computer Literacy Teacher who understands that technology is the universal language of the modern workforce. You aren't just teaching software; you are teaching critical thinking, online safety, and the creative power of code and digital design.

As part of the FFSD "New Chapter," you will lead a classroom that serves as a high‑tech hub for innovation. If you are ready to help 7th and 8th graders navigate the digital world with confidence, ethics, and skill, your next chapter starts here.

As a Middle School Computer Literacy Teacher, you will inspire and support students in reaching their technological and academic goals. You will deliver high‑quality, project‑based instruction that covers essential digital skills—including keyboarding, office productivity suites, introductory coding, and digital citizenship. Working in a supportive, student‑centered environment, you will empower every scholar to use technology as a tool for problem‑solving, communication, and creative expression.

• Equity Champion: You are committed to closing the digital divide, ensuring every student has the skills to thrive in a tech‑driven economy.
• Relational Expert: You enjoy the dynamic energy of middle‑schoolers and can bridge the gap between their "social" tech use and "professional" tech application.

• Empower Digital Creators: Design and lead engaging lessons that challenge students to create—not just consume—digital content, from websites to interactive media.
• Foster Responsibility: Implement a robust Digital Citizenship curriculum that focuses on online safety, privacy, and the ethical use of information.
• Ignite Computational Thinking: Introduce foundational logic and coding concepts that prepare students for advanced high‑school computer science pathways.
• Collaborate for Success: Partner with core academic teachers to integrate technology into Science, Math, and ELA projects, providing real‑world context for digital skills.
