Science Teacher - Middle School

About the Role

TEP Science Teachers believe that every student comes into our classrooms as scientists, whether they know it or not. In science, students are at the center of learning, whether they are dissecting owl pellets to figure out their roles within the food web, building electrical circuits to understand the flow of electricity, or predicting weather patterns. TEP’s vision is to have teachers that can effectively develop scientifically literate students who can solve problems, critically analyze, and evaluate scientific statements in their daily lives.

When students leave TEP classrooms, students will become leaders and agents of change within their communities, seeking to understand themselves and the world around them.

As a member of TEP’s Science team aligned to this vision, you will teach all students on your grade level one 45-minute block of science every day.

• Minimum of 3 years of lead teaching experience, at least 2 of which must have been in 4th through 9th grade classrooms
• Deeply aligned to TEP’s mission of providing a world-class education to historically under-resourced student communities

Please RSVP here!

To apply
, you must submit an application through The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School website here.

The first stage of the process is the application below. In order to be considered, you must submit an application that consists of all four components: 1 - Resume, 2 - Cover letter, 3 - Instructional Video, and 4 - Submission of Teaching and Learning. The requirements for each of the four components are specified in detail below.

1. RESUME: Please submit an up-to-date resume.

2. COVER LETTER: Please submit a well-written cover letter that highlights your specific interest in joining the TEP community.

3. INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO: Please submit an unedited video clip (maximum 15 minutes) of you teaching in a classroom setting (preferred) or a small-group setting. It is preferred that the students be in the same grade-level as the TEP teaching position for which you are applying, though this is not a strict requirement. The video may contain only one continuous, unedited clip (i.e. do not splice together multiple clips from different points in the lesson).

The clip does not need to show an entire lesson; a brief lesson segment is perfectly acceptable.

Note:

If you do not have a video with students in the classroom you may still submit a video of yourself teaching. Get creative! You may include a video of you teaching (a) a lesson with/for no students, (b) a lesson of you teaching family members, or a lesson for students virtually. We’re excited to see your creativity.

The video must be accompanied by a written narrative that analyzes and reflects upon the teaching and learning that occurs…
