Founding Science Teacher; Alt Program), Comp Sci

The Science (STEM) Teacher Role

STEM at CSH ALT is experimental, alive, and hybrid. The role requires constant adjustment and stamina to respond to students who enter with real academic gaps. The teacher blends Edmentum, an online Regents‑aligned platform, with live, strategy‑driven instruction, responding instantly to data and instructional needs.

• Pull small groups for targeted reteaching
• Run skill‑based math workshops
• Conduct lab‑based science interventions
• Hold one‑on‑one conferences to close conceptual gaps
• Redesign problems when students are stuck
• Adjust instruction in real time

The curriculum is in development; the STEM teacher is a co‑designer, continuously refining units, analyzing results, adjusting supports, and iterating when something does not work.

• Strong working knowledge of New York State Regents requirements across STEM courses, including Living Environment.
• Design and deliver Regents‑aligned curriculum that builds conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and scientific reasoning.
• Teach STEM courses to students across multiple credit levels and readiness levels in a transfer school setting (not grade‑specific).
• Facilitate daily, structured problem‑solving and inquiry aligned to lesson objectives and Regents skills.
• Use instructional time strategically and leverage additional Regents preparation opportunities (mock exams, targeted skill practice, Saturday prep) to ensure that 95%+ of students are on track to pass required STEM Regents exams.
• Support students in developing Regents‑aligned mathematical reasoning and scientific literacy.
• Monitor student progress toward credit completion and Regents exams using formative and summative data.
• Serve as an advisor to a small group of students, maintaining regular communication with families.
• Collaborate with colleagues, counselors, and school leadership to support student engagement, attendance, and academic progress.
• Maintain clear routines, consistent expectations, and reliable follow‑through.
• Conduct proactive outreach and follow‑up with students and families as needed to support persistence and completion.

Classes run on a flexible schedule. Teachers work 1:00 PM – 9:00 PM, with student classes beginning around 3:00 PM. Fridays are off during the school year and balanced with scheduled summer work focused on curriculum building and hybrid refinement.
